Where are they stored? Or are the just refreshed on the fly every time?

Thank you.

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.
