Script Summary: Adds a favicon for the website next to every external link on the page. Clearly shows when you will be leaving the current site, and where you will be going!

Script homepage

Note:

Because Firefox is such an elephant, and my PC is not particularly fast, I have made the script delay execution for 3 seconds, so you have a chance to scroll the page before your browser locks up again! If you have a faster PC and don't want this delay, you can reduce the value of delayExecution at the top of the script, or go edit the initialization code at the bottom.

Disadvantages:

The addition of the little icons will of course expand the text horizontally. This can make some sites look a little messy, for example if the site has some fixed-size blocks and we add the icon inside it. Suggestions for how to improve it are welcome.
