Purposeful != functional, and I don't argue that they serve no purpose. My point is it's a lot of detail work (i.e. BS) for something that does no 'work' -- it

Purposeful != functional, and I don't argue that they serve no purpose. My point is it's a lot of detail work (i.e. BS) for something that does no 'work' -- it's a lot of overhead for a visual cue.
- acdha 6y agoIt's one line of HTML (/favicon.ico is the zero-code default) for a user-interface cue which is widely used. "a lot of detail work” is only true if your internal processes for adding a static resource are phenomenally inefficient. If you are adding PWA support to your site and don't like the way your default icon displays on some devices, you have to add one more line of HTML and one small JSON file. That is more work but it's a fraction of a percent of the work which you will need to do to make a PWA for all but the most trivial sites.
