TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners running WordPress 5.4 or later who don't want the default WordPress favicon showing. It removes the default WordPress favicon from the site, though users who already set a custom Site Icon via Theme Customizer don't need it.
