As a future-proof solution, we should use an SVG favicon.

With an SVG image, one single file takes care of all the dimensions, including the future ones. With PNG images, this means we need to prepare the same image in various dimensions (see Bernard 2019). One reason for the favicon nightmare is that, as the time passes, browsers and OS’s can handle higher resolution images. Hopefully, what's written below is the definitive answer to "How to Favicon in 2021" (the title of articles used by Sitnik (2020), Coyier (2021a), and Reamsnyder (2021)). In this article, I do my best to back up each piece of argument by citing the sources of information extensively. It turns out that quite a few claims on favicons are simply wrong. One source of confusion is that people don't back up their claims. It's a nightmare for any web developer who wants to add a favicon to the site they're developing. They have a /favicon.ico file and nothing else-the old fashioned thing that still works everywhere." ( Reamsnyder 2021).Īdam, Nathan and Patrick (2021) show how diverse (and often wrong) the favicons of the top 100,000 most popular sites are, in terms of image size, image formats, and how is written in the HTML code. "But, as of this writing, has absolutely no markup for any favicon. “Top websites are surprisingly inconsistent in the way they declare icons (via elements in the page’s head).” ( Vidas 2019) Major websites do not seem to agree, either. :-)ĭisagreement is not limited to the blogsphere. The value added of my article is relentlessly citing the sources of information on everything about favicons. With this update, Sitnik (2020) is now the best reference on favicons, as noted by Coyier (2021b). Updates on Nov 8, 2021: Sitnik (2020) has since updated its content, in response to subzey (2021). However, this proposal is partly rejected by Reamsnyder (2021).

More recently, Sitnik (2020), whose article was cited by Coyier (2021a), proposes the minimalist solution, cutting down to just 4 lines of code in HTML with one JSON file and five favicon files. Gant (2019), Schwarz (2020), RealFaviconGenerator (n.d.), Bailey (2020), and Boulanger (2020) do not agree with each other. Different people suggest different solutions. However, there is no consensus on exactly how we should use favicons. Today favicon's color scheme also needs to be responsive to the dark theme.
