I strongly second this.

Let me recommend a simple edit to your proxy auto-configuration file.

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (shExpMatch(url, "http://www.google.com/favicon.ico")) {
return "PROXY 127.0.0.1:8080";
}
else
return "DIRECT";
}

Now, when your browser tries to fetch the offending favicon, you can feed it the Good Old Capital G you've grown to know and love.
