Wait are you all really suggesting that since the icons are too similar to other instantly-recognizable icons, users should switch to different icons that look less like what the entire world expects to be the icon for a web browser?

Not from this distance, your honor.

Citation desperately needed if you're asserting that the iOS market share is anywhere near 65% (and not actually 10-20%) given that China and India each have a market three times larger than the US and both markets are >80% Android. iOS has a lot of adherents, certainly, but it is not anywhere near even market share, much less dominant.

Mobile traffic is different from actual device marketshare.

The discussion is about whether icons with a visual similarity to iOS icons are intuitive or not, not anything about mobile traffic, and mobile traffic has nothing to do with the number of people who actually own iOS devices and see those icons.

I think mobile traffic is pretty important when discussing Safari. :v:
