Well, clearing the cache (and everything else) using Chrome's "Clear Browsing Data" command does not reset the "Use a prediction service to load pages more quickly" preference. So, it seems that Cookie might be doing something to cause this.

@SweetP said in Safari 12.x default blue webiste icon permanently removed by Cookie?:

Are you certain the issue you are seeing is Cookie related? maybe it was removed from Safari in an update?

I think that starting with Safari 12 that the default website icon now lives somewhere in /Users/Library/Safari/Favicon Cache.
Cookie5 (MAS) nukes this entire folder when 'Favicons' are removed...

Do the recently updated CookieScripts address this issue?

The icon shown at the left of the Safari URL bar when the website does not have a custom Favicon.

Seems like Cookie may have permanently removed the blue default from Safari 12.x URL bar on Sierra. Is this the intended behavior? Is there a way to get it back?

In my experience it is not unusual for Twitter to prompt for a phone number after the first login of a newly created account.

@SweetP Thanks for figuring this out.
I guess that basically means that there is no way for Cookie to avoid clearing this setting. Very weird of Google to do this IMHO.

Any progress on making sure the Cookie does not re-enable Chrome's "Use a prediction service to load pages more quickly" pref???

This is still an issue...

HehHe
I actually do the same thing sometimes when talking about my self.
We is me...!
