In my Linux partition, Google Reader is not showing the site favicons, why is this so ? Is this a Google Reader or a Google Chrome bug ?

I'm using Google Chrome 7.0.517.5 dev

Here's a screenshot

And yes, I have enabled Show favicons in Reader settings

Wow! I learnt something new here, I didn't even know you could show favicons. Sorry that's no help for your question though... – Benjol Sep 17 '10 at 4:59
@Benjol No worries :) @Dominik & @rassie helped me out :) – Sathya♦ Sep 18 '10 at 0:18

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, see the FAQ.

It's broken: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=54926

According to comments, it will be fixed in the next iteration of developer releases.

I'd say it's a Google Chrome bug. My 7.0.517.5 dev doesn't show them, Epiphany does.

If you use Firefox+Greasemonkey there are some scripts to get the favicons. For Chrome the Greasemonkey equivalent is Greasemetal. May be someone who has installed it can provide link for the chrome browser utility.
