For what it’s worth, the issue still persists on a clean install of the latest version of chrome on the latest version of iOS as of this date.

Sync seems working, according to sync-internals.

Favicon Images	219	219		Running	Group UI
Favicon Tracking	222	222		Running	Group U


Visiting a website loads the fav icon for said website.

I think that the synced favicons are the really small 16*16 ones. We don't use them as they'd be really ugly in the UI.

Large favicons are only retrieved once the webpage is visited, as that’s when the favicon is downloaded.

noyau@, do you confirm this is still the state as of now?

As told in comment #6, chrome iOS won't retrieve favicons if the webpage isn't visited.

We are working on crbug.com/697329 which will fix this issue (allow downloading of large favicons before visit).
