Not that I’m aware of. A search for “deadlink” on the site only pulls up this article. I believe that I’ve written about a Firefox extension that does something similar, but not nearly as powerful.

Unfortunately I’ve never seen a program like this for Linux, and I even spent a few minutes looking for one just now.

It writes settings to an .ini file in your %APPDATA% folder and also affects the registry slightly. So it's not completely stealthy and the settings aren't portable, but it will definitely run without installation. Just copy the installation directory to your USB drive.

There is also a great feature to save all favicons as individual files which is handy for adding favicons to bookmarklets or when a site suddenly changes their favicon to something I don't like.
