For a long time you could get the favicon of every site from a public Google link, it had the format
https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=stackoverflow.com
It was possible to download it with curl or wget.
Not the link redirects to
And it doesn't seem to be possible anymore to download it with a command.
When you try
curl https://t0.gstatic.com/faviconV2?client=SOCIAL&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbrutalist.report&size=16 --output favicon.png
You get the output
Warning: Binary output can mess up your terminal. Use "--output -" to tell Warning: curl to output it to your terminal anyway, or consider "--output Warning: " to save to a file.
And nothing happens, you have to stop the execution manually.
Does someone know how to resolve that?
It was possible to download it with curl or wget.
I did run following wget command
wget -O stackoverflow.png https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=stackoverflow.com
and I got 16 x 16 PNG image named stackoverflow.png which to my understanding is what it should be. Please try above code and write what effect it had.
