Curious to know why this is an issue.
- ricardo81 6y agoThere are variations of it now due to mobile devices, social sharing etc that may prefer a larger icon. An online favicon generator will create these variations <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="57x57" href="/ico/apple-icon-57x57.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="60x60" href="/ico/apple-icon-60x60.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="/ico/apple-icon-72x72.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="76x76" href="/ico/apple-icon-76x76.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="/ico/apple-icon-114x114.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="120x120" href="/ico/apple-icon-120x120.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="144x144" href="/ico/apple-icon-144x144.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="152x152" href="/ico/apple-icon-152x152.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/ico/apple-icon-180x180.png"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="192x192" href="/ico/android-icon-192x192.png"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/ico/favicon-32x32.png"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="96x96" href="/ico/favicon-96x96.png"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/ico/favicon-16x16.png"> <link rel="manifest" href="/ico/manifest.json"> <meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#ffffff"> <meta name="msapplication-TileImage" content="/ico/ms-icon-144x144.png"> Nonetheless, the browser can see this when parsing the page and choose the appropriate path.
