Failed to parse web app manifest: invalid MIME: a slash (/) was missing

[illtellyoulater]

When trying to install website at https://dencode.com/ I get this error:

"Failed to parse web app manifest: invalid MIME: a slash (/) was missing between the type and subtype at line 1 column 288"

However, being this just a simple web page, there is no manifest in: developer-tools > application > manifest, or at https://dencode.com/manifest.json, so I don't understand where is the extension detecting the error?

I think I read there is a way to disable manifest parsing while installing websites, but I couldn't find an option for that... so I don't know how to fix this.

Could anyone guide me to a solution?

This happens because the website specifies the icon type as x-icon, which is (probably) an invalid MIME type.

You cannot disable manifest parsing, because the website doesn't even have manifest and this error happens in the '` HTML tag.

Could anyone guide me to a solution?

One workaround is if you open developer tools and manually edit every <link> tag with type="x-icon" to type="image/x-icon" before installing the website. (There seem to be two such tags.)

I don't know yet how to properly solve this.

I added a basic workaround for this in 2.9.0. It should become available soon.
