Thank you.

on Mac: the following file
${user.home}/Library/Application Support/Google/Slimjet/Default/Favicons

on Windows: Favicons-journal and Favicons files from the following location
C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME]\AppData\Local\Google\Slimjet\User Data\Default

Now I see it. Thanks.

Not in an easily modified form.

Can I carve my existing favicons in stone by making the file read-only? Or will that otherwise mess things up? :mrgreen:

I don't think it would hurt to try.

And the answer is -- it doesn't hurt anything, but it doesn't do anything either.
