No Favicon On Safari with assets/favicon.ico

Dash Python
1

When setting up for a project I had running locally, I noticed the favicon wasn’t displaying what I had set. I have the assets/favicon.ico set up relative to app.py and I can see the html header is correct when inspecting the element on the page:

<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/assets/favicon.ico?m=1618345048.8448246">

When I checked with Chrome, the favicon displays fine.
I tried restarting Safari and reopening the page (localhost) but there is no change.

This isn’t an app in production, just a personal project, but I’m just not sure why Safari is fetching the standard plotly logo vs. the favicon.ico I have in place.

Does anyone know the cause of this behavior? I couldn’t find much helpful information on this from the Apple/Safari side of things. Is anyone else experiencing this or something similar?

I’m using Safari Version 14.0.3 (16610.4.3.1.4)

I updated my machine and the favicon is now working as expected.

Hi dsmith, I know it’s an old post but I have the same issue with Safari where the favicon is not shown (but it’s shown in Chrome). What kind of “update” did you do? I’m on Python 3.12.8, Dash 2.18.2, macOS 15.3. I’m unsure which aspect of my machine I should update. Thanks.
