I found this helps if you are not working from the root directory. This eliminated the error for me. It is placed in the head.

<link rel="icon" href="favicon.png" sizes="16x16" type="image/png">

Favicon.ico is an icon file that is displayed next to the URL in the browser bar. (See the StackExchange icon next to the URL).

There is no way to stop browsers requesting it. You can either create a favicon, or create a zero byte file called favicon.ico and place in the web root.
