How can you remove the favicon using Javascript in google chrome? The goal is to return it to the browser default, which is in this case a blank image.
I found this question, but it doesn't work if you leave the link.href attribute as empty.
Even if the favicon is set because there is a favicon.ico file on the server, I'd like to remove it and set it back to the default.
This only needs to work in chrome.
Thanks!
Have you tried using an empty transparent image?
Try:
data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAQCAYAAAAf8/9hAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAAZiS0dEAP8A/wD/oL2nkwAAAAlwSFlzAAALEwAACxMBAJqcGAAAAAd0SU1FB9oFFAADATTAuQQAAAAZdEVYdENvbW1lbnQAQ3JlYXRlZCB3aXRoIEdJTVBXgQ4XAAAAEklEQVQ4y2NgGAWjYBSMAggAAAQQAAGFP6pyAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC
