Myfav.es (Fav4) adds new icons, registration, custom URLs

Remember Fav4? It's a customized browser home page, with a super-clean layout featuring a huge, beautiful icon for each of your favorite sites.

And now it has a new domain name - Myfav.es (although fav4.org still works), along with a few notable additions. I couldn't find a list of all of the updates on the site, but here's what I've noticed:

Many new site icons: Including the world's leading software blog, yours truly.
User accounts: Last time I checked, there was no way to open an account on the site. Now you can open an account and save your settings on the server, not just on an ephemeral local cookie.
Custom URL: When you open an account, you can set a custom URL for yourself. This way you can just set all of your other browsers to that URL, without having to log in.
Three layout options: Last time I checked, there was just one. Now you can select between a single-row multipage layout, a single row "Magic Scroll" layout (that smoothly scrolls right and left) and a grid layout.

This thing looks so nice, I'm almost tempted to start using it myself!

(Thanks, TioNcoT!)
