What is a favicon?

️ Favicons are URL, link, website or web page icons. If you visit a site, the top tab will have the name and icon of that site (Figure 1).

🧑‍💻 Favicons are attached to the site by web developers, and then the site icons are visible in browsers.

🥇 The first favicons were used in Microsoft's Internet Explorer in 1999.

✅ If you need a site favicon, you can get it like this:

1️⃣ Enter any site. For example: www.google.com

2️⃣ Add the word /favicon.ico to the site address and press Enter (https://www.google.com/favicon.ico)

⬇️ Then save the resulting image.
