Steps to reproduce:
There are two (probably) related issues relating to Favicons:

Issue 1:
On Mobile:

  • Go to www.dpreview.com, Note that the Favicon updates in the URL bar and tab switcher
  • Go to si.edu, Note that the Favicon remains as the DPReview Favicon in both the URL Bar and the tab switcher
  • NOTE: this behavior is inconsistent based on the site.
    • Hacker News -> si.edu works as expected.
    • DPReview -> si.edu does not
    • DPReview -> Hacker News -> si.edu shows the DPReview Favicon

Issue 2:
On Mobile:

  • Clear tabs from previous test
  • Go to si.edu, Note that the favicon is the default "internet" favicon (suggesting the site does not have a favicon)
  • Go to si.edu in a desktop browser, Note that there is a Favicon for this site

Expected behavior:
Issue 1:

  • I expect the Favicon to update to the correct Favicon for the site. Alternatively, I expect the favicon to revert to the default favicon if the site does not have one.

Issue 2:

  • I expect the Favicon to exist on Mobile if it exists on the desktop browser
