Allow big favicons to be used as speed-dial thumbnails

Some pages use quite big (64x64 or even 128x128) pictures as favicon. Why don't you give the user the choice to use that as a thumbnail?

Often the icon is much more useful than a screenshot...

Personal bar already allow you to use icon/favicon... lol

But I do think the speed dial thumbnails will be more useful if it's customizable.

Sure, but I think the interesting thing about my idea is that single websites could define their own thumbnails. Cross-Platform...

Sites defining a favicon larger than 32×32 are breaking W3C compliance IINM. Anyways, an option for browsers to define their thumbnail as well as a favicon (<link rel="thumb">, maybe?) may be nice, although for the most part is completely redundant.

Opera can adapt to the world, but that should not be at the cost of making any of them both stupider

Are you suggesting the feature that the Speed Dial extension for Chrome has? I would like to see that in Opera as well. It's quite fancy.
