A
favicon (short for
'favorites icon'), also
known as a website icon,
a page icon or an
urlicon, is an icon
associated with a
particular website or
webpage. A web designer
can create such an icon,
and many recent web
browsers can then make
use of them. Browsers
that support favicons 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
