I don’t care if I get the favicon or not... can I just opt out of this functionality?

From elsewhere in this thread:

Uncheck the very last option "Site Icons"

appears to be the search engine results _not_ the browser.

How if you type a url into the browser how do you stop the browser from sending that url to ddg to get the favicon?
