Disallow automatic injection of user-tacking via remove logo/favicon

Feature Request

On first glance it is nice that this addon automatically fetches the favicons from the linked pages, but when you realize that in fact it just goes to embedd them from the external website and thus enabled user-tracking for which especially Facebook is infamous for, then you wonder if this minor convenience of not having to choose an icon is really worth this trade-off in user privacy.

So sadly for us we can not use this extension as we value user privacy over small conveniences, besides obvious GDPR issues with that "feature".

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally there would the an admin setting to just turn off this anti-feature and simple let people chose the icons from the locally available fontawesome icons.

Thanks for considering.
