SVG Support

Any info about SVG support would be nice. Couldn’t find comprehensive info about this yet.

Is there any support at all? I don’t think the cheat sheet needs to include file formats that simply don’t work anywhere.

Opera’s Erik Dahlström has a test page for SVG favicons. In my tests (all run on Mac OS X 10.9.4):

• Safari Version 7.0.5 (9537.77.4): 🚫
• Firefox 31.0: 🚫
• Chrome Version 36.0.1985.125: 🚫
• Opera Next 23.0.1522.58: 🚫

I think it is still worth discussing. Might be worth checking which specification Erik’s implementation is supposed to target in the first place.

I am also interested in learning more. A bunch of major sites recently added svg favicons for some reason. I don't know why. Twitter, Yahoo, Bing, etc.

Latest support from http://caniuse.com/#search=svg%20favicons

• Firefox kind of but it only loads the first time
• Safari and Safari IOS next release but if the svg is black and white

Safari 9.0's pinned tabs now use SVG favicons http://blog.iconfactory.com/2015/11/the-new-favicon/

Firefox supports SVG favicons since september 2015 in the Developer Edition. The feature was integrated in Firefox from the version 45.
