Yeah, the favicon they used starting around 2009[1] was definitely my favorite visually. It stood out among a ton of tabs; the monolithic favicons they've been using since they just look like blobs to my eye. This latest one is especially bad in that regard.

- lloeki 14y agoTo me, that new 'blue pill' one is better, more subdued, and the 'g' is very legible. Before that that was just a patchwork of colors and the 'g' was unreadable on a white background (i.e Chrome's own location field). The original entry by André Resende was much, much better than the messy one they used since 2009. The capital G was nice.
