How to clear the icon cache of Chromium browser

I updated my website's icon that shows at a tab of a browser. I cleared the data of the chromium browser (Ubuntu's version of Chrome):

'clear browsing data'->select 'from the beginning of time' and check everything->click 'clear browsing data'

However, I am still getting my old icon.

Any idea of how to clear that cache?

Solution

  • Open the favicon URL in another tab and do a Shift+Reload to fix this issue.

    For example if Favicon URL is http://www.example.com/favicon.ico, open it in a new tab and do Shift+Reload.
