If you have a Square Space website the default browser icon is a gray box.

BROWSER ICON (FAVICON)

You can upload a browser URL icon for use with your site. This icon can be in PNG or ICO format and will be resized by the browser for display in your URL bar. Note: IE does not support PNG format. Squarespace recommends that you upload a image with a square ratio size 100px x 100px to 300px by 300 px.
