I changed the favicon for my Community. I would like to have a favicon for my internal users who are accessing Salesforce Enterprise. Is this possible?

It's an interesting question. I can't think of any way to do it but I've been wrong before.– gNerbCommented Aug 23, 2018 at 16:22

Jayant...the information you provided tells me how to put a favicon on a Community. I am looking to change the favicon for my internal Salesforce users (if possible).– Michele KleinhomerCommented Aug 23, 2018 at 19:20

Ah, I didn't realized that it was for community.– Jayant DasCommented Aug 23, 2018 at 19:29

This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but it is a Chrome browswer extension that will override the default Salesforce icons:
According to the description:
Overrides the standard salesforce favicon with one colored based on the org. Also, displays a separate icon for sandbox instances.
Automatically updates the icon for salesforce.com to display a colored cloud icon based on the current instance. Also, includes a separate icon with an 'S' to indicate sandbox instances.
Now supports Lightning Experience!
Also, it may be possible to customize the solution that the author has provided.
UPDATE: I am editing the answer in response to a comment. I have no affiliation at all with the author of the Google chrome extension I cited.
I did confirm that changing the "favicon" in any html page requires a modification to the HTML tag. The Salesforce platform is never going to allow code that manipulates their generated HTML markup.

A browser extension to customize the icon may be the only way to do this, and this browser extension is fairly highly rated. A potential downside is that it requires access to read and modify data from websites that you visit.
Also, you may want to take a look at some of the comments on the Chrome extension's "Support" page. If Doug Ayers has installed this extension and got it to work in SF Lightning experience by tweaking a javascript file, that's something to consider.

1I didn't vote you down, but it might improve your post to explicitly disclose your affiliation or lack thereof with this product.– Adrian Larson ♦Commented Jan 4, 2019 at 23:03

3I am very leary of Chrome extensions because of the many security issues with them. I don't think I will use that solution. Thank you for the suggestion. Commented Jan 7, 2019 at 15:40

2Point of clarification: changing a favicon can be accomplished in two ways, either by setting a
<link rel="icon" . . . />tag in the page header or by directing the request forGET /favicon.icoto a different image file (which itself can be accomplished either by placing a file in the web root directory or by a server URL rewrite rule). Of course, none of these methods are currently supported, but Salesforce could do so without giving raw HTML editing capabilities to end users.– Foo BarCommented Jan 31, 2020 at 15:50
