Like it or not, Safari and others have defined the generic browser icon
metaphor as the world/map + compass and Ubuntu doesn't have the clout in
the browser market (like apple, google or mozilla) to drop a branded
icon for its browser.
That being said I have modified the existing icon to be "less similar"
to Safari (which I think is the main problem people are having):

from the design team.

Title:
[Icons] Web Browser icon is not distinctive to the Ubuntu brand
Status in Ubuntu theme:
New
Status in Ubuntu UX:
Triaged
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
the icon for the webbrowser-app does not use transparency, so is a big
square edged thing, which is inconsistent with other icons and looks
out of place on the dash and alt-tab. I don't know if phone icons are
supposed to meet the standards for desktop icons, or if desktop icons
should work well as phone icons, but if we are aiming for convergence
some kind of common ground is going to be required, or we end up with
a separate icon for desktop and phone?
