Whois & Analysis for favicon.cc

A favicon (short for favorite icon), also known as a shortcut icon, website icon, tab icon, URL icon, or bookmark icon, is a file containing one or more small icons, associated with a particular website or web page.

A web designer can create such an icon and upload it to a website (or web page) by several means, and graphical web browsers will then make use of it.

Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page's favicon in the browser's address bar (sometimes in the history as well) and next to the page's name in a list of bookmarks.

Browsers that support a tabbed document interface typically show a page's favicon next to the page's title on the tab, and site-specific browsers use the favicon as a desktop icon.

Favicons can also be used to have a textless favourite site, saving space.

The graphical control element address bar (also location bar or URL bar) shows the current URL and accepts a typed URL that navigates the user to a chosen website in a web browser.

In a file browser it serves the same purpose of navigation but through the file-system hierarchy.

Many address bars offer features like autocomplete and a list of suggestions while the address is being typed in.

This auto-completion feature bases its suggestions on the browser's history.

Some browsers have keyboard shortcuts to auto-complete an address.

These are generally configured by the user on a case-by-case basis.

Address bars have been a feature of web browsers since NCSA Mosaic.

A web browser (commonly referred to as a browser) is a software application for retrieving, presenting and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web.

An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI/URL) that may be a web page, image, video or other piece of content.

Hyperlinks present in resources enable users easily to navigate their browsers to related resources.

In computing, an icon is a pictogram or ideogram displayed on a computer screen in order to help the user navigate a computer system or mobile device.

The icon itself is a quickly comprehensible symbol of a software tool, function, or a data file, accessible on the system and is more like a traffic sign than a detailed illustration of the actual entity it represents.

It can serve as an electronic hyperlink or file shortcut to access the program or data.

The user can activate an icon using a mouse, pointer, finger, or recently voice commands.

Their placement on the screen, also in relation to other icons, may provide further information to the user about their usage.

In activating an icon, the user can move directly into and out of the identified function without knowing anything further about the location or requirements of the file or code.

In computer networks, to download is to receive data from a remote system, typically a server such as a web server, an FTP server, an email server, or other similar systems.

This contrasts with uploading, where data is sent to a remote server.
