Making unexpected calls to https://icons.bitwarden.net/[HOST]/icon.png

Even when the option “Show website icons and retrieve change password URLs” is disabled (unchecked), BitWarden still makes calls to https://icons.bitwarden.net/[HOST]/icon.png (where [HOST] is the site the user is visiting).

Why is this?

Could you clarify the steps to reproduce this?

Are you saying that if you open www.google.com in your browser, then the browser extension will post a request to https://icons.bitwarden.net/google.com/icon.png? Does this happen whether or not the vault contains a login item that matches to www.google.com?

If someone on the dev team is willing to commit to fix this (with or without compensation), I am willing to commit to spending my time generating reliable STR without compensation to help everyone. I only have so much available time, and many commitments.

Nevermind, then. :roll_eyes:

Hi there, the team would need more information to look into what you are describing. What is the version of the client you are using? Are you self-hosting, and if so, is your server up to date?

Don’t hesitate to drop a bug report on Github for the team to review.
