Hyperlink Cues with Favicons



For links that point to external sites, what if, instead of showing a generic 'external link' icon, we showed that site's favicon?

The favicon gives the reader something to recognize if they are already familiar with the destination site, and if not familiar, something new to associate with it. It's similar to the way a feed reader, or a bookmark list, might show sites.

The method to do this requires some CSS, but the most of the magic happens with JavaScript.
