The following code is not working in IE 11. Any idea?

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAQCAYAAAAf8/9hAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8YQUAAAAJcEhZcwAADsQAAA7EAZUrDhsAAACMSURBVDhP7ZCxDYAgFESdxXkMo9A5hguwAhUDEFoLFqCxIXEAFzjhy1dj1IaWSwjc5/K40KFSDVAAS5DozUBLhFi8hNrS5TrRDIhQ7shwLusE0GDTEE7DZu8SxM8ngKDZP/TZQASN0UywBWD9gHG9su8NitjTnprwmRvc878AYE4t+LWfP6hRA1QDgB1UmrnthDo3VgAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==">

This is incorrect, data URI is supported in Internet Explorer: https://caniuse.com/#search=data%20uri

I have had trouble with favicons in Internet Explorer but as an img tag they work fine:

<img src="<enter data URI here>" alt="image">

I used this to convert: https://websemantics.uk/tools/image-to-data-uri-converter/
