Seems fine to remove the icons, but I might just not show an icon so we can keep the left-alignment.

Keeping titles aligned felt funnier to my eyes but I'm not sure why.
Happy to defer to hannahs@'s judgement 👍

Mardini, Jason, do we want to do this for iOS?

Is the reason to remove the default empty page icon is that if you have too many empty/error open tabs then it becomes too repetitive and a bit cluttered? Is that frequent enough to warrant the inconsistency between empty/error tabs and other tabs? 

My 2 cents is that, to my eyes, losing the icon (with or without changing the alignment) looks a bit weird and we should simply keep things as is but I defer to UX's judgement. 

To ainslie for feedback on mardini's question.

On Desktop, removing the icon on the NTP doesn't feel the same as the tabs aren't vertically stacked so they aren't directly visually comparable.

In regards to the mocks above, for pages with a security error (e.g. https://expired.badssl.com/), we still show the same favicon or a yield icon [Canary] on Desktop.  Is this change targeted for the NTP only?

re: #5 and #6
I don't have strong feelings about the mobile tabs. Conceptually, I like the idea that Chrome drawn UIs wouldn't have the empty/default page icon. Visually, I'm happy to defer to hannahs@'s judgement. 

Removing myself - hannahs is the best design contact here
