because supporting favicon spec means image processing into 5 diff formats and weird urls that every device and browser treats differently. i guess i will just go read which one jumble uses.

idk, it just uses the windows favicon.ico and all web apps support this at least.

it's not compulsory to support any other formats like the apple stupid shit

there is honestly very few apps that even have a reason to support a higher resolution image. there was this kinda aspirational movement at one point to make web apps into first class citizens in launchers and such especially on mobiles but it got overtaken by proper apps

yeah i think that's mainly what these things are even for, PWAs. like that button on chrome that lets you install a page as an app on your desktop, on mobile and pc

also, they only support png and ico files, i don't think animated gifs are in the spec
