Favicons are small icons associated with a website or webpage. Synonyms for favicons include shortcut icons, website icons, tab icons, and bookmark icons. These icons are typically displayed in the browser's address bar, bookmarks bar, and tabs. They are designed to help users quickly identify websites and webpages and associate a visual cue with the content. Some browsers also use favicons as a way to indicate site security or authenticity. While the term favicon has become ubiquitous, there are plenty of other phrases that can be used to describe these tiny but powerful icons.
