The favicon isn’t showing up on the Brave browser for me, but when I add “image/x-icon” to the link tag in my developer tools, it starts working.
There’s lots of other posts about favicons, but I wanted to post what I found by adding this in the developer tools.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a Brave browser to an obsidian note
- For posterity, change the favicon and publish the new image. I updated the my favicon image, which is when I saw issues. Not sure if that’s related.
- Open the developer tools, search for “favicon” and find the link tag referencing the icon. Add type=“image/x-icon” to make it look something like:
Expected result
The favicon should just work all the time. type="image/x-icon" might need to be included in the HTML template you are using.Actual result
The Obsidian logo shows as my favicon unless I am looking at a page that contains the favicon image directly embedded in the page in an image tag.Environment
