When you open a new tab, the little icons you see are more than decoration—they are your landmarks. A familiar picture helps you spot the site you want at a glance. Yet the real world is messy: some sites never share an icon, some only offer a blurry stamp, and others leave their logo floating in a sea of empty space. We spent months tuning BoTab so those rough edges no longer show up on your dashboard.

Find every icon before polishing

In the past, BoTab sometimes gave up and showed a gray placeholder. That meant we simply had not found a logo yet. Now we search in layers:

We start with the homepage, where most sites keep their icon.
If nothing is listed, we try the common hiding spots, the file names people often use for icons.
Still nothing? We knock on the front door of the main site, in case the address you opened was a smaller sub-site that forgot to share its logo.
As a last resort we visit a trusted public icon library so you are never left with an empty square.

It sounds like casting a wide net, but the result is simple: far more sites now show up with their own symbol. You do not have to think about the steps behind the curtain—you just notice that the grid feels tidy.

Picking the best face, not the first one

Different sites hand out icons of wildly different sizes. Some are postage stamps, others are giant posters. We added a fitting room: every candidate gets measured, and the clearer option goes to the front. If you request a larger size, we keep searching until we find one that matches your wish.

That means BoTab now presents icons that look crisp instead of fuzzy or stretched. Your start page turns into a mini gallery where each tile carries the right brand personality.
