Why Aren't My Favicons Showing Up in Google Chrome?

Google Chrome Favicon Issue

Introduction

Users have encountered difficulties with favicons not appearing in Google Chrome, despite displaying when the icon's path is entered in the URL bar.

Causes and Solutions

Cache:

• Clear your Chrome cache at http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95582.
• For an updated favicon, add a URL parameter: ?v=1 after the link href, which changes the resource link and loads the favicon without cache.

<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico?v=2"  />

Favicon Usage:

• Ensure the favicon is properly imported with the correct code.

• Normal favicon:

  <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
  <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

• PNG/GIF favicon:

  <link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="favicon.gif" />
  <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png" />

  Place this code within the tag.

Chrome Local Problem:

• Chrome may not display locally-stored favicons. The icon must be uploaded to a webserver, or be placed in the downloads directory for Chrome to access it. For more details, refer to: https://superuser.com/questions/83454/local-file-website-favicon-works-in-firefox-not-in-chrome-or-safari-why

Renaming:

• Try renaming the favicon from favicon.{whatever} to {yourfaviconname}.{whatever}. This has solved the issue for some users.

Base64 Approach:

• Encode the favicon as a Base64 image and include it directly in the tag:
