I don't need the favicon for a domain I never visited just because it adds some visual cool to your UI. That is not a thing. Cache it whenever I end up visiting the page and be done with it.

DuckDuckGo can't do that because they don't have access to your browser's history and favicon cache, precisely to protect your privacy.

EDIT: This reply is wrong if DDG is the browser.


The favicon is an important visual landmark that aids in finding the correct search result in the list.
