  Not sure about Chromium-based browsers, but the author of this paper on the technique: https://www.ndss-symposium.org/wp-content/uploads/ndss2021_1C-5_24202_paper.pdf https://www.ndss-symposium.org/wp-content/uploads/ndss2021_1... Says that Firefox has a bug that prevents favicons from being loaded from cache, which inadvertently protects against this technique. They filed a bug report on it in 2020 but nothing has happened with it yet: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1618257 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1618257
