Chrome Version: All
OS: Android
What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Clear browsing history
(2) Visit maps.google.com
(3) Open NTP
What is the expected result?
A Most Visited tile should be displayed for Google Maps with an appropriate (non-gray) icon.
What happens instead?
The displayed icon is gray.
Clicking on the tile doesn't solve the problem.
Reason:
A series of client-side redirects and Javascript history replaceState() causes Chrome to not associate the favicon to the original URL in the chain, where the NTP tile is pointing to. Hence, all lookups in the favicon database fail, leading to a gray tile.
