Please note that there is a wrong suggestion in the site: > Why is favicon.ico not declared in the HTML code? > Looking for some sample favicon code, you've probably encountered: > <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico"> > Why is it not present in the code generated by RealFaviconGenerator? Because it somehow disrupts some other browsers like Chrome. And since IE looks for a file named favicon.ico anyway, the best solution is to not even talk about it. This is described by Jonathan T. Neal and Mathias Bynens. This is a bad advice, please continue using rel="shortcut icon" to indicate where the favicon is. W3C says so [1], the WHATWG agrees (or "permits")[2], and is needed on Android [3].
