You seem to be confusing these Google Font icons with app icons (Google services, macOS dock icons). The former are meant to be simple, resizeable, used by other apps, work in dark/light mode, and able to be part of any design language

It's more of a problem with college sports, but I'd also love the ability to favorite teams so their games are always at the top.

And /r/all/top has basically zero NSFW stuff. There seems to be a ton of NSFW spam that gets seen by much smaller audiences.

Very cool, but how exactly does that look less “hideous” than an LG UltraFine 5K? https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HMUB2LL/A/lg-ultrafine-5k...

I had no idea what Griddy was, and after glancing at the website, I assumed it was a failed tech startup. I’ve never seen a utility company with such a modern website and design language before.

That complexity is mostly due to Gecko, right? What's stopping Mozilla from switching to Blink? Does using Google's engine conflict with their mission? Edit: Getting downvotes for this honest question. I didn't realize that b
