How to solve pagedown_chrome_print failed to generate output due to fail to open favicon.ico

I am a superfan of the use of pagedown::chrome_print("test.html") to convert my test.html to test.pdf. It worked 2 days ago. Today it did not, with the message:

Error in force(expr) : 
  Failed to generate output. Reason: Failed to open http://some numbers/favicon.ico # (HTTP status code: 404)

Apparently my chrome installation got updated today. That is the only difference I see. Anyone else also having this problem? Anyone knows about a fix? The most recent mentions were some years back. Thank you!

I just implemented the workaround suggested by @I_O in the comment in the servr package. You can install the new version via:

install.packages('servr')

Restart R, and pagedown::chrome_print() should work again.

It takes from www folder by default.

First create an www folder and after Put your favicon.ico into it.

Keep address as same like http://some numbers/favicon.ico

It will work, if it doesn't please comment back!
