By the way, the reason that maybe upstream is using the icon
successfully without user confusion might be (speculating here) that
they usually do not use it as part of a fixed point on the screen.  It
would be much less confusing for example if this was only visible when
you alt-tab etc.  Unless you have the left unity side-bar set to auto-
hide this pointer is very visible there and in the place where unity
WANTS most of the mouse pointer action to happen.  So, again, IMNSHO it
will easily confuse users who search for the pointer first in that area.

Title:
  poor choice for browser icon

Status in “humanity-icon-theme” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  I am not sure this icon is indeed from unity or one of the separate
  packages but I found the trusty icon for the browser a poor choice
  (see attachment).  The pointer that is included is easy to mistake for
  the system pointer and thus confuse the user.  Please reconsider this.
