In 2023, I sold it. I had a bit of a burnout and just couldn't run it anymore. Unfortunately, it seems like the new owners are having a lot of issues keeping it working consistently.
I have created a similar service for my own needs at fetchfavicon.com, used Icon Horse before, but it shut down. Still got some edge cases to polish but mostly working right now so any feedback appreciated.

Nice writeup! Privacy-friendly search engine DuckDuckGo also has one similar to the Google one:
Also there's one I made called Icon Horse that has some additional features:
icon.horse is the best one... Thanks for the sharing
Wasn't aware of those ones, nice to know thanks !
I would just state that Icon Horse is not free (but still a very nice tool).
Do you know if duckduckgo supports parameters, such as the size hint for example ?
To my knowledge DDG doesn’t have various customisation params available.
Icon Horse is free, but premium features cost money.
Your Icon Horse service looks amazing! I'll give it a try real soon.
For those stumbling on this as of April, 2025: the Icon Horse seems to be dead. :)
