Google's Favicon for search Documentation https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/favicon-in-search updated, min size is 8x8px, but 48px min still recommended.
Still has to be 1:1 aspect (square), but that requirement for it to be a multiple of 48px has gone. That one always felt weird!
I've updated https://faviconcheck.tamethebots.com/ & https://tamethebots.com/tools/fetch-render to reflect these changes.
The Chrome team is ramping up our support of bfcache for Cache-Control: no-store pages.
Read more about what that means here:

Whenever a date is relevant, relative publication dates like “yesterday” or “3 days ago” end up being useless.
E.g., “yesterday” can be today or the day before yesterday, depending on the time zone of the publication.
It gets messy, too, if you have the page open for a few hours (or days!) and miss to reload.
In my work on @frontenddogma, Medium is notorious here, usually requiring to check the source code to be sure about article dates.
Please provide unambiguous dates.
Another heads up for Product Schema, EnergyConsumptionDetails will be depreciated in April '25, in favour of hasCertification
hasCertification is more flexible and should give opportunities to markup relevant stuff other than energy usage certs down the road. Currently limited to EPREL and some vehicle emissions stuff though, at least in terms of what Google support: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/merchant-listing#certification-properties

We’re pleased to launch CrUX Vis - a new experimental tool to allow you to visualize CrUX History API data:
https://cruxvis.withgoogle.com
This experiment was first put together by Jamison O'Keefe, our 2024 summer intern.
The CrUX History API was released over a year ago and we’ve seen a number of great third-party apps spring up to visualize this data. We thought it was time we offered a way to show this data too.
For more info on the CrUX History API see:
