A favicon today is a small set of PNGs, typically 16, 32 and 180 pixels square, linked from your HTML head. The fastest free route is an emoji favicon: a browser-based generator turns any emoji into favicon PNGs at 16, 32, 64 and 180 pixels and gives you the HTML tag to use them, with nothing uploaded. If you already have a logo, resize it to those sizes instead.

If you do not have a logo yet, an emoji makes a surprisingly good favicon: it is recognizable at 16 pixels, needs no design skills, and renders consistently. The emoji favicon generator draws your chosen emoji onto PNGs at 16, 32, 64 and 180 pixels in your browser, then hands you the files plus the HTML tag, so the whole job takes under a minute.
If you have a logo image, resize a square version of it to 32x32 and 180x180 with a local image resizer and link those files the same way. Keep the artwork simple, because fine detail disappears at tab size. Nothing is uploaded in either route, both tools run entirely in your browser.
