Title:
[browser] favicons are not persistently cached on disk
Status in Ubuntu UI Toolkit:
Triaged
Status in Web Browser App:
In Progress
Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Since version 0.23+14.10.20140709-0ubuntu1 of webbrowser-app, favicon
support was re-introduced (it had been initially removed when
switching to oxide). As of that version, the bookmarks list on the new
tab page displays favicons. However the favicons are not cached on
disk, all we store is a reference to their URL (e.g.
http://assets.ubuntu.com/sites/ubuntu/latest/u/img/favicon.ico). Once
the icons have been fetched by the QML engine, they will be cached in
memory during the lifetime of the application, but if the application
is killed and restarted, the icons will be fetched from the network
again, potentially incurring a cost on the data connection.
Favicons should be cached on disk to avoid re-downloading them every
time the app is launched.
