Description

WebKitIconDatabase provides access to website icons, as shown in tab labels, window captions or bookmarks. All views share the same icon database.

The icon database is enabled by default and stored in ~/.local/share/webkit/icondatabase, depending on XDG_DATA_HOME.

WebKit will automatically look for available icons in link elements on opened pages as well as an existing favicon.ico and load the images found into the memory cache if possible. The signal "icon-loaded" will be emitted when any icon is found and loaded. Old Icons are automatically cleaned up after 4 days.

webkit_icon_database_set_path() can be used to change the location of the database and also to disable it by passing NULL.

If WebKitWebSettings::enable-private-browsing is TRUE new icons won't be added to the database on disk and no existing icons will be deleted from it.
