It can sometimes be a little bit tedious to find the “shortcut icon” link in the HTML. Another approach is to create an Internet shortcut (i.e., a “Favorite” in IE, a.k.a. a “Bookmark”) and open it with Notepad:
[DEFAULT]
BASEURL=http://superuser.com/questions/532616/grab-favicon-ico-…
[{000214A0-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
Prop3=19,2
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://superuser.com/questions/532616/grab-favicon-ico-using-google-…
IDList=
-> IconFile=http://cdn.sstatic.net/superuser/img/favicon.ico
IconIndex=1
The IconFile and IconIndex are usually at the end.

You can click Ctrl+U to view source and look for the favicon in the code (<link rel="shortcut icon"). It's usually in the top of the HTML source file, since it's inside the <head>.
For this page, it's in the 7th line:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Grab favicon.ico using Google Chrome dev tools - Super User</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://cdn.sstatic.net/superuser/img/favicon.ico">

You can use the power of google to do this:
http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=www.google.de
Replacing the domain name above will grab the favicon for that given domain.
You can also use this variant:
http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.de%2F
that will get the favicon for any url.
