An html tag is a reliable way to achieve this effect. Of note, the current auto-generated tags from favicon.io have broken end tags, so you will need to fill them in. Additionally, I recommend adding an additional line to include the href for the favicon.ico file that they auto generate for you as well.

The favicon can not be defined in CSS. If you want reliable behaviour, you should use the HTML tags.

Browsers will usually automatically look at /favicon.ico if an icon isn't defined in HTML. Putting an .ico file here will work in all browsers, but this won't work for other file types.

I am not sure about having the Icon in CSS but if you put the icon in the root folder of your site browsers will show the icon correctly. (As A ICO Format)

This has good information here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
