Favicon
A favicon (short for favourites icon), also known as a website icon, page icon, or urlicon, is an icon associated with a particular website or webpage. Browser that support them may display them in the browser's URL bar, next to the site's name in lists of bookmarks, and next to the page's title in a tabbed document interface.

2. The favicon feature was originally created by Microsoft for Internet Explorer, which would request a favicon in ICO format from a fixed URL (/favicon.ico) for every website. Most other browsers quickly adopted the technique. A later scheme that used the rel=icon attribute of the link element in a webpage's <head> section introduces several benefits over the original, inflexible scheme: different locations for the favicon on the server, different favicons for different pages, and different image formats - such as PNG or GIF.
