Bing tests removing favicons from sponsored results

removing favicons from sponsored results

Bing is now testing sponsored results without favicons. I spotted this while searching for something on Bing — the sponsored results appeared with just the website name and URL below it, no favicon included.

Here is a screenshot of how it looks.

Showing sponsored results without favicons feels a bit off, and personally, I’m not like of this test, since favicons play an important role in helping users quickly recognize a website.
