I'm trying to get an SVG Favicon on my site but no matter what I do, it just doesn't want to work.
I've got the following code saved as an .svg file in my usual favicon location, but when I change the favicon path to be .svg instead of .ico, nothing loads.
<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" viewBox="0 0 384.5 283.4" style="enable-background:new 0 0 384.5 283.4;" xml:space="preserve" width="100%" height="100%">
<style type="text/css">
.shape1 {fill: #DB6B2A;}
.shape2 {fill: #AE1A31;}
</style>

</svg>
This is the code I'm using to set the favicon;
<link rel="icon" href="http://www.MYSITE.co.uk/favicon.svg?v=4">
I can't work out if it is an issue with my .svg code, or I'm missing something. Thanks

SVG favicons are now supported for Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Edge and Opera: https://caniuse.com/#feat=link-icon-svg
<link rel="icon" href="images/favicon.svg" sizes="any" type="image/svg+xml">
Chrome support was only added since version 80.x.
