The worst is that Safari needs a new type of favicon disrupting other web browsers but still doesn't display standards favicons natively.

I am not sure what you mean. Safari shows favicons of sites I visit?

In the bookmarks bar, no favicons show up. This is the major reason I can't switch to Safari: most of my bookmarks bar items have no label in Chrome, I just visually recognize their favicons and that's sufficient.

Precisely, I'm in the same boat. And while I've seen workarounds (like http://include.aorcsik.com/2014/12/04/add-favicons-to-safari...) I really don't want to have to add SIMBL extensions just to get something every other browser already does. :(

If it is there for pinned sites, why not add it for all of them?

Ah! Yes, I hate that too! Thanks for clarifying.
