Here is my solution to the "problem". In Nginx config:

location = /favicon.ico { return 204; access_log off; error_log off; }

Those of us who like to bookmark sites on our bookmarks toolbar without any text will find your suggestion very annoying.

This is exactly what I do, too. I've got the Bookmarks Toolbar in Firefox with just favicons all the way across. I don't need the text alongside and prefer to remove it to fit more icons instead.

Wouldn't "return 410" (potentially) be better?
