Icons that read tiny
Simplify ruthlessly
Fine text vanishes at 16px. One bold glyph or initial beats a detailed logo.
Test on dark tabs too
Dark-mode browser chrome eats dark icons — add contrast or a light badge behind the mark.
Keep the ICO
Modern browsers take PNGs, but the multi-size .ico still covers legacy browsers and shortcuts.
