The minimum tag
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico"> — that's it. Every browser will fetch it.
The modern recommended set
Add SVG and apple-touch-icon for crisp rendering on every platform:
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico">
<link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/favicon.svg">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
PWA install prompts
Add a manifest.json with 192×192 and 512×512 PNG entries, then link <link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">.
