FWIW
Some modern browsers no longer show a Favicon in the address bar.

Chrome and Firefox for example now only show a Favicon on the Tab by the page Title.

This change was made due to people using a 'padlock' image for a Favicon to trick people to think the page was secured via HTTPS[SSL]. Now the address bar icon is used to show how the page is secured - grey globe, padlock, padlock with triangle, etc.

Welcome to the Forums ... 'hee hee' ...

Look at the left top of your browser address bar when you access any Freeola pages and if you see a little 'F' then that is a 'favicon'!

It just gives a more corporate and yet personal touch to your web site.

Check out some of our customer reviews below:

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
10/10
Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
