website icons in safari 16.3

After updating my MacBook to macOS Big Sur 11.7.3, and then updating Safari to 16.3, all website icons are lost, and saved bookmarks only appear in grey.

Upon contact with Apple Support, I have tried to empty buffer, deleting browser history, deleting the "~/Bibliotek/Safari/Favicon Cache/", reinstall macOS Big Sur 11.7.3 (after shutdown/restart w. cmd+r), ... nothing seems to help.

Apple Support Agent confirmed that the Safari/Preferences/Tabs "Show website icons in tabs" is gone?

Hoping to avoid a generel reinstallation, as I am not even sure that will help, as all of the above is similar to a reinstallation.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.7

... have by now done the general reinstallation, after a swipe/cleaning of my MacBook.


Have read on several external (unauthorized?) support sites, that quite a few others are experiencing the very same issue, with macOS Big Sur 11.7.3/Safari 16.3, after updating, as recommended by Apple.


Apparently, the issue is non existing with later macOS's; Monterey and Ventura.


Hopefully, this will lead to another update ... quite soon?


Where and to whom, at Apple, should I turn?
