Nexus 7 ignores apple-touch-icon Go to any website that has:

&lt;link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png" /&gt;
&lt;link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" href="/apple-touch-icon.png" /&gt;


For example: bbc.co.uk, starbucks.com, or play.com.
Create a bookmark from the browsers.
Go to Bookmarks, and Add to Homescreen.


On other Android devices, the icon that appears on your homescreen will be the icon specified in one of the two tags above. On my Nexus 7 though, it always uses a bookmark icon with the site's favicon in the middle. I know the icons are working, because if you go into Chrome => Bookmarks, it shows the bookmarks with the apple-touch-icon there, just not on the homescreen.

Did this change in Jellybean? Is it a bug, or intentional for some reason? I can't find any mention of this behavior anywhere online.
It looks like Google is afraid of being sued by Apple for using "square icon with rounded corners". There is an issu on http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=125076. However there is information about fix version set to 25th release. I don't know if chromium and chrome versions have the same numbers, but last time I checked Chrome it was on v. 22. There is also a posted suggestion of introducing chrome specific Android-Icon.
