Steps to reproduce:

Open a few websites, at least one should load its favicon via https (so these steps always work)
Open Developer Tools -> Network
Open `Tab Switcher``
Inspect one of the requests to load a favicon
It includes the current URL in the HTTP Referer (sic)

An option to disable favicons would be nice!
