Some favicons are missing from the tab bar
-
As you can see some of the favicons are missing. The favicon appears next to the bookmark, if the page is bookmarked, it's missing only from the tab bar.
My versions are:

@spapanik Hello and Welcome to the Vivaldi Community
Please try the troubleshooting steps first:

I have the same issue. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, the favicon won't load even if it's the same site. Case in point : in the screenshot below, all tabs are Youtube playlists that I have just loaded up, yet no matter how much I wait, the 2nd and 3rd still have those blank favicons.
Interestingly, this doesn't happen with a fresh profile, so I'm suspecting either an extension or my settings to be the culprit.
EDIT : forgot to mention this, but simply reloading the browser also seems to fix it. This problem seems to be session-only.

I think I found the issue, at least on my end !
In the built-in tracker & ad blocker, I had added Fanboy's Enhanced Tracking List to my tracker blocking sources. Turns out this was the culprit for me.
After looking into it a bit, that list seems notorious for breaking favicons (as shown in their Github issues) because it specifically blocks 3rd party favicons. I guess that's what I get for blindly adding a list without looking into what it does exactly, haha.
No real harm was done, though. -
@amkitakk It's a very common cause of issues - users fiddle around with stuff they don't understand, install "neato" extensions that break stuff in all kinds of ways, and install all kinds of crap on their machines. Then when unexpected things happen, they forget all the things they did and blame the browser...
At least you had the ability and understanding to dig deeper into what you changed instead of waiting for someone to hand you a solution - well done
