If it's to prevent tracking I'm all for it, but I would love them to then provide an API to enable favicon overlays for badges/notifications (in a tracking abuse free way). Maybe, just maybe, with the news they are finally implementing Web Push Notifications and the suggestion it's the first step towards supporting PWAs, they might create a icon badge api for both the favicon but also PWA icons.
