I was sure this has been a thing for a while, either that or safari has a UI bug since forever.

I regularly get the wrong favicon in specific sites, for example ars technica favicon in reddit

My hacker news icon has been stuck as the icon for a weather site that I sometimes check. It’s been stuck that way for close to a year now, and has survived an iOS update too.

It persists across profiles and into private browsing mode.

Could site icons be connected somehow to iCloud?
