How We Got the Favicon (2017)

You can set the shortcut icon meta tag to point to a fairly big (256x256) png file, and all modern browsers will re-scale it for use where-ever needed.

The only place where I've seen multiple sizes needed was for SPAs on mobile phones etc. and that's a whole different set of tags.

Sometimes you want more control over the low-res result than a re-scale will give.

Use SVG with CSS media queries.

At the scales we're taking about, bitmap image is both faster and smaller than equivalent SVG & CSS with media queries.
