I am wondering if it is possible to get a website's favicon by an URL with JavaScript.
For example I have an URL http://www.bbc.co.uk/ and I would like to get path to favicon described in <link rel="icon" .../> meta tag - http://www.bbc.co.uk/favicon.ico.
I have many URLs so that should not load every page and search for link tag I think.
Any ideas ?

Right-click on the website and click the "View page info" option from the list. It will open up a dialog and click on the "Media" tab. In that tab you will see all the images including favicon.
To change favicons, just go favicon. change("ICON URL") using the above. (credits to http://softwareas.com/dynamic-favicons for the code I based this on.)
A favicon is a small image displayed next to the page title in the browser tab.
You can click Ctrl + U to view source and look for the favicon in the code ( <link rel="shortcut icon" ).
Here are 2 working options, I tested over 100 urls and got different results which each option. Please note, this solution is not JS, but JS may not be necessary.
