Upon updating to Monterey, Safari (15.1) is no longer displays Favicons.
Safari preferences no longer has a Favicon toggle in the Tabs section. Any suggestion on how to remedy this?
Thanks!

my situation— which is that the favicons are not rendering correctly.
if you still have an issue:
quit the Safari.app
From the Finder>Go>Go to Folder copy and paste:
~/Library/Safari/Favicon Cache
Select all items (Command A) in the cache folder and move them to the Trash.
Relaunch your Safari, the favicon cache folder will rebuild itself as you visit websites.

Resolved by going to Develop>Empty Caches.
It was the nuclear option, sadly, but am back to normal… I think.

Good computing CreativeSmith
That wasn't stated in the original post. In that case boot into Safe Mode according to Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
my favicons have been working all along. after clearing my history, i get the grey icons with the first letter of each of my favourites in them. when i reopen safari, they come back one by one. if it's not working properly for you, the only thing i can suggest would be to completely quit safari, then safe-start safari by pressing and holding the shift key while launching safari and see if they repopulate themselves.
There is a checkbox under Safari's Tab preference pane to change tabs to icons:
This seems to only affect icons in OPEN TABS and the START PAGE FAVORITES. Is there any way to have the bookmarks bar display favicons?
Have followed all of the above guidance, for which I'm grateful, but am still unable to get some sites to repopulate their favicons.
Specifically, can't get [previously cached] favicons to reload. If, however, I load a site which I've never visited on this MBP, the that [totally new] favicon appears as it should.
So, is there a favicon database which should/could also be deleted?
Thanks, but not quite my situation— which is that the favicons are not rendering correctly.
