I was sure this has been a thing for a while, either that or safari has a UI bug since forever.

I regularly get the wrong favicon in specific sites, for example ars technica favicon in reddit

I thought I was the only one! Something in the UI cache is so horribly corrupted and it has been for years on my MacBook, I just gave up hope.
