I am having issues with google chrome not rendering svg with an img tag. This happens when refreshing the page and initial page load. I can get the image to show up by \"
Had the same problem. If server is configured correctly and .htacces is not the answer, might want to look the svg source you are embedding. Mine were created with text editor, rendered well on Chrome&Safari inside html5 code, once embedded, nothing was visible. Added correct version, dimensions etc to the svg code and works like a charm. Also, all styles inline.
