It's crazy to see how long they took to implement SVG favicons.

Some developers have implemented whole desktop environments with SVG icons and Google is taking years to bring SVG favicons in Chrome ?
Maybe this kind of features would have been implemented faster if they wouldn't waste so many resource into developing spyware and data collection, similar to what Mozilla is doing these days.
At least they are fast into forbidding other web browsers to access Google services calling them insecure.
I am sick of their sleazy tactics and their willingness to compete with Microsoft on this.

Firefox already had support for SVG favicons for many years...

Anybody else have trouble running Chrome 79 remotely over X11? It runs, but the window is completely blank. You can even interact with it if you know where to click, but no content ever displays. No errors that I can see either. Chrome up to 78 worked fine. Tried different X servers, no change.
