@lunchsong,
The favicon data is held somewhere — which is apparently browsing history. This makes sense, given that these are sites you visit, right? And the only way to apply those favicons to begin with is to visit a site. So it makes sense that when your site/browsing history is completely deleted, the browser can no longer find that image and needs to re-visit the site to find it again.

I just tested this in Chrome and Firefox and got the same results. This is not “intended” behavior bit it is “expected” behavior.

aah the magic word is favicon :blush: It seems i find a solution on internets. If i keep the site stored in bookmarks as well, icon will remain even if i wipe the browsing history. Thank you.
