For touch device browsers (usually HIDPI devices), its advantageous to have high-resolution favicon specified as apple-touch-icon in HTML. For example, Angelfish is showing it next to the tab with the site, bookmarks and history records. Browsers from others operating systems can use it for making web page appear on homescreen.

While jolla.com and https://sailfishos.org/ do have apple-touch-iconspecified, https://together.jolla.com/ does not. Which makes it (unnecessarily) ugly on browsers supporting this feature.

I have no idea what this is about, please clarify for dumb-asses like me, a screenshot perhaps?, why is this advantageous?, thanks.

its an icon that is used when you bookmark the page. in sailfish browser, try to bookmark bbc - that would have it. if you bookmark this page, at tjc, you will not get an icon but page corner screenshot.

in general, its a standard these days which is used by mobile browsers. in angelfish, for example.
