[SG-29514] Favicon has fuzzy edges in Firefox running on macOS

Administrator requested to merge contractors/SG-29514 into main

Created by: gitstart-sourcegraph

Description

fuzzy

The edges of the capsules look fuzzy, especially for the sky blue capsule. This looks particularly odd next to other favicons which are often geometrically more complex.

Success Criteria

  • The favicon should look sharp/crisp, similar to how GitHub's favicon (shown on the right) looks crisp.

Implementation Details

We should use an SVG for the favicon icon.

  • I believe we currently use enterprise/ui/assets/img/favicon.png or ui/assets/img/favicon.png but we should instead use enterprise/ui/assets/img/sourcegraph-mark.svg or ui/assets/img/sourcegraph-mark.svg.

Test plan

  • Open any page on sourcegraph.com.
  • Run sg start or sg start oss to run the local instance.
  • Compare the two favicon on Firefox macOs v12.
  • The local instance should have crispy/sharp edges while the remote instance should still have fuzzy edges.
