AAM showing Irishtimes FavIcon

[newirishman]

On the iPad (at a minimum), www.askaboutmoney.com and many of the forum sub pages show the Irishtimes favicon.
For example, the ‘How to use AAM’ forum shows the aam favicon.
apart from being irritating for the forum user, there’s a copyright issue.

Interesting.

I am not able to reproduce it on my iPad , my iPhone or my desktop?

Does anyone else see it?

It's the Irish Times favicon you are objecting to and not the AAM one I assume?

In your example, the live tab is Askaboutmoney.

What happens if you click on the tab with the IT on it?

X the Askaboutmoney tab and what do you see?

It could be worse:

iPadOS 15.2.1 Safari - Broken Favicons

Hello. Does anyone else have broken favicons in iPadOS 15 Safari tabs? Very often my tabs are showing completely the wrong icon. Along with the My First Sidebar, Safari these days is a total embarrassment. Might start using betas in the hope of improved stability ?

Thanks Brendan. I tried clearing caches etc. but no dice. Looks like an old bug thats still not fixed.
I’ll put the iPad into dev mode and clean things manually, and go from there.
Good to see that It isn’t a server side issue.
I’ll update if I find a way to get rid of the incorrect caches.

My iPad software version is 15.6.1

That’s for safari desktop only, but good pointer nevertheless.
