Yosemite Safari 8 needs fav icons

when i enable "show icon on tab bar" it will work after i open a page and restart my browser - just opening a new page doesn't display the icon.. anyone else having that issue with safaristand?
I think that's how it's supposed to work.
SafariStand could stand a little documentation.
SafariStand looks promising but as of now, it works very unreliably. Favicon appears only after Safari restart (as you're saying) or when I open a tab from the external location (i.e.. from a mail client), but NOT when you navigate inside Safari. Also, when the favicon is loaded and you change the site, the favicon keeps the same and doesn't reflect the updated URL
Thanks for sharing! This works great for me in Yosemite as I could not get Glims to work.
Not a lot of documentation about this plugin. So I installed EasySIMBL, ticked the box to enable it, dragged the Safaristand bundle to it and ticket the box next to it as well.
Relaunched Safari, but no favicon. Anything I missed?

You should see "Stand" up on your Safari menu bar. Click that then click the settings option. In there check the box to show favicons.
Weird, the box was un-ticked... Anyway, works now, thanks. Such a small change but so useful to see the favicons.
Thanks!
So amazing. THANK YOU SAFARI STAND!
Having a bit of the wrong favicon issue/won't change when navigating to a new page, but anything is better than nothing. So much clearer, and the favicons seem to be shaded to somewhat blend with the new safari colorscheme - or lack of one. I really like the minimal vibe Safari has, but it's hard to argue with the productivity that icon-recognition brings.
Now if only there were a way to pin tabs I'd be totally stoked about my recent switch to safari.
Haha, after spending days looking for tab manipulating plugins for safari, or safari-esque skins for chrome I'm happy to settle on one of the options.

This saved my day! Thanks!
But is there anyway to get favicons working on reading list as well? I use reading list a lot, and the way it looks now is simply awful
Yeah, I was kind of hoping for that as well ... It's a neat idea, but not being able to replace those colored compasses means poor execution.
10.10.1 turns off easysimbl so make sure you turn it on again
all safari stand needs now is 2 glims features:
-compress all tabs (up to 80!) to fit on screen like glims or even firefox
-option to create tab on far right instead of next to current tab

Not true. Pinch and you get all of your tabs + a preview of the page. Unless you count the split second to perform the pinch gesture as not a "glance". This probably has been said before...
