Boring web-dev stuff, yay!
After a little pause of twenty years, I decided to freshen up my favicon foo. All those previews, browser tab headings and search results I’m seeing are giving me the impression that a 16×16-pixel bitmap in an obscure Microsoft file format doesn’t cut it anymore…
At least on my ancient low-dpi desktop, Google Chrome still uses the 16×16 version in its native resolution, and because low-res is cool, this size shall be the starting point.
After handpixelling three versions for the smaller sizes (16×16, 32×32, 64×64) it turned out that I cannot use the 32 px one. For the browser tab icon, Google Chrome will always load the 32×32 version and squish it down to 16×16 pixels if both versions are referenced.
Well, that was fun. Let’s never touch favicons again until 2044.
