I just updated Safari to v16.3 running in MacOS 11.7.3
Safari no longer displays any favicons in the URL field.
Also, the favicons have disappeared from my start page.
I tried deleting the Favicon Cache but that does nothing. Restarting Safari does nothing either.
Is this a known issue?
Has Safari done away with favicons?
I'd appreciate any help....
Mac mini, macOS 11.7
The latest Safari update is 16.3.1 and it specifically addresses this issue with icons.
Fixed now!!
Thanks to Apple and all those who replied here.
I've been having this problem too, tried clearing the favicon cache etc. and it made no difference. I do see favicons in some of the tabs (but not all), but zero favicons appear on the start page. I really hope someone figures this out or finds a solution.
Good to know it's not just me. I spent a lot of time searching the Apple Community for help.
Always reluctant to go through all the hoops for trying to fix these types of issues.
I've also sent a Bug Report. Hope it's addressed and fixed.
Thanks everyone.
I just emptied the Favicon Cache folder to see what happens.
When I visit various websites, then new items appear in the folder.
However, if I QuickLook these items, some show an icon image, but most are blank.
Is there some kind of format mismatch?

PS:
My Start Page is set to show Top Sites.
The arrangement of sites is a mess and appears to have been randomized.
Thanks. At least now I know I'm not the only one.
I have sent a bug report to Apple.
Столкнулся с такой же проблемой, переустановка MacOS не исправила ситуацию(
In the side bar bookmarks I have just few icons properly displayed, most have instead the standard “blue globe” icon.
Same configuration Safari v163. running in MacOS 11.7.3, same problem !
How does something this basic get messed up ?
I too have this problem after updating Safari v16.3. Have tried restart of safari and laptop to no effect.
I too have this problem after updating Safari v16.3 MacOS 11.7.3
An update to Safari just showed up in System Preferences - still called 16.3
Installed....sadly no change.
No favicons on the Start Page.
Well that's good news. I have Safari 16.3 sitting in Software Update, I'll wait for the Big Sur 11.7.4 and install both.
All fixed now :)
