I used this trick for a quick favicon on my site https://muxup.com/ - though unfortunately Google/Bing/DuckDuckGo doesn't like svg favicons and so it's not displayed in search results. I should really add a proper favicon...
Favicons have always been weirdly special. I don’t know why.
SVG support feels like it should be pretty straightforward to implement.
Last time I looked at how to implement favicons “correctly” I had to make some weird XML file with the word apple in it and it lists all the size of icons I have, and then use a favicon generator to create all the “correct” sizes.

What a mess.
at least for google it does render my svg favicon in their search result page, Bing and DuckDuckGo didn't
Oh that's interesting, I wonder what's different about your SVG favicon vs mine.
