Preferences remain local to the browser profile. Bookmark origins are sent to Google's public favicon service to retrieve icons; URL paths are not sent. Chrome can use its on-device favicon API as a fallback. Daemon mode is optional, binds to localhost only and is contacted only after the user explicitly connects it.
