Just a note on the conversion to host-OS-compatible formats: there are a couple of interesting use cases for SVG favicons, namely favicons specific to the user's preferred color scheme ( https://blog.tomayac.com/2019/09/21/prefers-color-scheme-in-svg-favicons-for-dark-mode-icons/) and animated favicons ( https://blog.tomayac.com/2019/12/01/animated-svg-favicons/), both of which have only varying support in browsers today, but where support would get lost completely if they were converted to standard PNGs. People have been asking at least for color scheme support for sure ( https://github.com/w3c/image-resource/issues/26). Cheers, Tom
