Last time I checked (~3 months ago) canvas rendered favicons lead to HUGE memory leaks in Chrome. I love this effect, but I had to remove it from my app. If you were only using it on a page that is navigated away from, then this will work great, most likely.
I think I read that Firefox might be ditching the favicon in the location bar for some reason?

I feel like this would be rather annoying and distracting. I could just imagine my 10+ tabs in Firefox having a pie chart or something blinking instead of a plain image. It feels like were devolving to the old websites of flashy and blinking images trying to lure people in. Don't get me wrong though, it is neat! But... Where is that disable favicon extension now?

A possible use case could be upload/download large files
This might be useful for slow file uploads, but eventually animated favicons will be abused and subsequently disabled in later browser versions. See "window.status".
