 ​https://snowflake.torproject.org/embed.html that gets updated with state,
 similar to the extension's browserAction.setIcon, so that you can use a
 pinned tab in situations where installing an extension is not feasible.

 375 KB seems big for a favicon; maybe it's better to use a single PNG and
 let the browser resize it, rather than have all the sizes precomputed in
 the ICO file. The 256×256 PNG is 87 KB and the 128×128 is 10 KB.
