Safari extension – 'X' favicon no longer being replaced with Twitter bird

'X' favicon no longer being replaced with Twitter bird using the Safari extension

Not sure if it's because https://twitter.com/favicon.ico was still the Twitter bird until (approximately) Feb 2024 but is now the X. The Twitter bird remains on twitter.com, e.g. https://abs.twimg.com/favicons/twitter.2.ico , if the extension and userscript could use this, or encode it in text e.g. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/471627-old-twitter-favicon . But I don't know

Note: it seems Safari can take a very long time to update its favicon cache, months even (and no way to try and force this through the filesystem on iOS and iPadOS unlike macOS), so this may not be apparent to many. But for instance, somebody setting up a new device or restoring a backup (i.e. which doesn't restore caches) today would, I imagine, experience this

Hope this can be updated anyway. It can seem small, it is I guess. But can really break the illusion. Us trying to retain X's Twitter branding is an illusion we know, and we're very grateful for this extension and userscript to help us do it!
