How can I add a tab icon?

Question

I've tried adding a tab icon to my webpage, I've looked at other pages, but couldn't get any answers why my icon wasn't working. I'm new to coding so please make your answers simple.

Here is my code:

<head>
    <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href=favicon.ico>
</head>

add the following inside the <head> tag

<link rel="icon" href="/path/to/favicon/favicon.ico">

and make sure that the favicon.ico is present in /path/to/favicon/

if every thing is setted right, then verify that the `favicon` is a png file. or recreate a PNG file, then change its extension to `ico` – yaitloutou Jan 28 '17 at 10:03
