Description

Maybe only occurs on localhost, not gh.io.
Maybe my fork was behind, when seeing the old favico.png error in Console.

Encountered during creating PR #135 samples. Kept having to Clear Console Messages to make the Console tab clean, to get rid of an irrelevant error about favicon.png.

The issue repros in at least one of these samples (or, it did, in localhost):
https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/Demos/pull/135 --
