We are getting weird favicon requests only from Safari

Hi, our company's server is getting some odd requests. They are favicon request but not to the root url but to any sub-url of our website. It seems like the browser might be sending them automatically on every page the user accesses. For instance, we get /courses/favicon.ico, /competitions/favicon.ico, etc. It does not seem that the user is doing it on purpose since by looking at the logs we see a normal activity accompanied by these requests.

I am not sure this is the appropiate place to post this but since we are only getting those requests from safari users, I though maybe someone else has experienced this. I haven't been able to reproduce it neither on an iphone nor macbook. Maybe it is due to some safari extension but since I am not a safari user I really don't know what could be causing this.

Of course what we'll have to do is prevent our server from crashing because of this but I wanted to be able to find the cause and reproduce it.

Thanks!
