Best open source icon SVG pack?


Out of habit I have been using Font awesome for quite some time now, but since Font Awesome seemingly has pivoted into a SaaS product, what open source icon SVG packs do you use for your project?

I am currently moving from fontawesome to bootstrap-icons, as it is slowly but surely catching up and fully MIT licensed. For comparison:

- Fontawesome 5.15: 1608 free icons (out of 7864 total)

- Fontawesome 6.0: 1748 free icons (out of 14865 total!)

- Bootstrap Icons 1.8: 1683 free icons

None. Do not use font as icons, it's not what they (fonts) are for.

Use `SVG`.
