      On the "Opera for Android" homepage, bookmarks appear with an icon.
      As a webdesigner, how do I provide such an icon, like "favicon.ico" for windows browsers?

        @paul-rosseel You mean the ones you add or the ones that already come with Opera?

          I mean the ones I add.

          By default, Opera adds a Wikipedia, Youtube, ... as shortcuts to the homepage.

          I added a site (example https://www.buienradar.be/belgie/neerslag/buienradar/3uur) and it comes with an image in the icon, just like the "favicon" in the browser's tab on my windows workstation.

          I also added https://www.mahoua-kattan.com : this is our website and it shows the favicon in the windows browser, but in the Opera for android app it just shows an "M".
          I would like to know what I need to do (upload an image.whatever file format to the site) to make that image appear in the icon.

          Hope this explains my question.

          Wish I could add a screenshot to clarify.

            Same as Apple uses I believe, though you could look at Flickr and see how they do it to be sure. I know my Flickr bookmarks all have icons.

              @sgunhouse Dear, TX for your reaction, but I'm afraid it doesn't help me any further. Is there some documentation by Opera available somewhere? Or any other space where I can find the tech specs/requirements?
              Tx in advance!

                  @sgunhouse TX for your effort, but I still couldn't solve it 😓
                  Added the following code line in the head-section:
                  <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="favicon_57.png"/>
                  and put the file in the root folder of the website, so right next to the index.php file.
                  Also cleared history etc from the phone's opera-app but ...
