New Web Icon

Over the past few days, I've noticed a new icon on website tabs. This appeared on sites that did not have a tab icon of their own. I mean the little twisted H to the left of the site name. Anyone know anything about it? Is that supplied by Windows?

Jerry, I think it maybe the icon for "honey". They are a discount code finder for deals on the internet.

I had not noticed but have tried with Catskillscam. At first there was the twisted H which changed within seconds to the "Ski" logo shown below.

Browser dependent? I don't see it in Firefox. What browser are you using?
Could it be an info icon? What happens when you mouse over it?
I get a little "i" in a circle next to the site name that when I mouse over it provides information.
Info says site not secure. I get no icon in the tab.
The link you have in your signature line should be changed to https:
https://catskillcam.com/ works.

Your host may add an icon.
Does it like like something they use?

EDIT:
You have this in the header area of your page code.
Looks like your "editor"/page maker program added it as a "default" favicon.

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="../favicon-32x32.png" sizes="32x32" />

My favicon is a camera.

FYI - on my laptop using Firefox, your images are hard set at 1200 wide, which requires me to use a view slider or turn off my links navbar to see the whole image.

Interesting. I'm using HostGator, and Chrome. Maybe one or the other added it to sites that don't have an icon.

As for the 1200 px wide, thanks for telling me. You're suggesting that I make the width variable? Below is what my screen looks like.

This is my screen in Firefox with the link navbar on the left. The picture is larger than my display window and gets a left-right slider bar at the bottom. And I have to scroll up and down to see the remainder of the image.

Notice the little icon to the left of your site in the links (bookmarks) navbar.

EDIT: I have to go down to a 50% view to get the whole image in the display window.

....

Yes, Some hosting companies add their logo. Bluehost adds their 9 blue square logo as a default most likely if you use a click-n-build program. Earthlink adds their logo.

I write all my code by hand, so it would (should) not affect my sites.

I don't know what variable is in your page editor.
For less typing, I would just try 600, 800, ... wide (see what looks best) and not specify the vertical. The browser will scale that for you. (no calculating either...)

I review my pages in Firefox (my primary browser) and Chrome. IE doesn't play nice so I don't bother checking that one, unless I want to see how it throws up. I don't check Safari or Opera because I just don't want another browser on my computers.

Here's what's currently used:
2019
April
Chrome 80.3 %
Edge/IE 3.6 %
Firefox 9.6 %
Safari 3.3 %
Opera 1.7 %

I hate it when UHH strips consecutive spaces!

Thanks, again. I've saved all your suggestions.

Check that - I'd probably work with the horizontal size first instead of the vertical. But either one will work.
