The header.php does not include any markup for a favicon. Even if it is not configurable via the customizer, should you not at least include:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/favicon.ico" />
as recommended by http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Favicon ?

I do understand the theme can be modified by users directly or via child-themes, but then it would break (or require updating the child-theme) after an upgrade release.

Hi,

It’s recommended by WordPress for themes to not include this feature. And it falls in the plugin-territory. So you should try using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-favicon/

Aha, I did not know that.

Seems to go against the advice in the codex, but makes sense as well.

Thanks for the plugin link, i will use that!
