I feel like there are better ways to do this, to the point that this 'feature' actually looks really out-of-place. Why wouldn't you get these thumbnail previews when you actually scan the QR Code? You're going to be fetching/caching the favicon and framebuffer for the page anyways, there's literally no reason not to get that data at runtime rather than 3 hours later.
It's not exactly malicious, but weird "we know better than you" behavior like this ultimately drove me away from MacOS as a daily-driver.
