I don&amp;#x27;t know what specific font I want, so I was having to manually search for one, select a random one, and see how it looked. It would be nice to see a grid of 40 favicons, each with a different font on to easily glance over.</text></comment>

So it will look the same everywhere and not depend on a font-file. Nifty! But how is it done?&lt;p&gt;How usable are svg favicons nowadays? Do I still need a dozen link rels in my &amp;lt;head&amp;gt; with various icons in different formats&amp;#x2F;sizes? Currently I have one .ico file as rel=&amp;quot;shortcut icon&amp;quot;, 4 pngs in various sizes as &amp;quot;icon&amp;quot;, 4 pngs as &amp;quot;apple-touch-icon&amp;quot; and 1 svg as &amp;quot;mask icon&amp;quot;</text></comment>
