Rodrigo Veiga, developer of QuickCoords, provides a comprehensive guide on updating the favicon for a website. He explains that simply using a favicon.ico file is insufficient due to different requirements across platforms like Apple devices and Safari's Touch Bar. Instead, he suggests using a specific website to generate the necessary files for various platforms and browsers, and details how to integrate these files into your website. Additionally, he explains how to clear Safari's favicon cache and suggests steps for troubleshooting common issues.

How to update your favicon on your website

For a long time, I use plugin for webpack for favicon generation. And one day I think like “Hold on! I generate same favicon set every time and don’t use half of them. Why I do this?”
So yeah. I recommend this website too. Use this website for favicons generation, take sources that I need and push it into repository. Do it once and be happy. Don’t forget about site.webmanifest too and pictures for it

Wow I had no idea you needed all this. Times change huh… Thanks for the insights :)
