Problem

I developed a website with a favicon and now every time I access localhost (for my other projects), I get that same favicon showing up. I'm on OSX, using Chrome.

Fix for: Remove default favicon on localhost

Low Risk

To fix this, I went into Preferences, Under the Hood, Clear Browsing Data, and selected all the options with "from the beginning of time" as the date reference. I was hoping to not have to do this and lose all my browsing history/data, but it worked.
