Where does the favicon come from this website

I was inspecting this particular website : https://www.fertoret.fr/

And I was wondering where does the favicon come from as there isn't one specified in the header.

I'm probably missing some (new ?) feature, but which one ?

Thx

Solution

  • Being able to specify the location of the favicon with a <link> is the new feature.

    The original approach (which is used here) is to simply put the file at the URL /favicon.ico and let the browser request it (and so log files were filled with 404 errors).
