Safari 8 leftbound URL with favicon

safarisettings

In version 8 of safari the URL of a webpage is displayed centered in the adress-field, and the favicon (or apple-touch-icon) is invisible.

Only when I click into the adress-field the URL moves to the left edge and the favicon becomes visible.

What must I do to always have the URL displayed leftbound with the favicon visible?

This is what I've got now, but don't like:
status quo

This is what I want:

How can I get it?

btw:
Is there a way to display favicons in the tabs? sometimes its hard to navigate through many open tabs when there is nothing but text. Favicons in the tabs would be very helpful.

Edit:

If this is impossible, it would be nice to read this in an informed answer, just to have clarity.

Best Answer

You can show the full URL in the address field by going to to Safari > Preferences > Advanced and check the box "Show full website address." This won't, however, show the website favicon, but it's better than nothing in my opinion.
