"Microsoft is testing expanding the favicons in the Bing Search results interface when you hover your mouse cursor over the search result listing and/or ad."
"This was spotted by Sachin Patel who posted about it on X - here is a GIF of it in action: Here are some screencast videos he made of this in action:"
"This reminds me of when Bing only showed the favicon on hover - that was interesting."
Microsoft is testing an interface change that expands favicons in Bing Search results when the cursor hovers over a result listing or an ad. GIFs and screencast videos shared on X demonstrate the enlarged favicon appearing on hover. The interaction applies to both organic results and ads, increasing the visual prominence of the result's site icon. The behavior resembles a past Bing variant that displayed favicons only on hover. The change appears experimental and could influence brand recognition, click-through behavior, and how advertisers design their icons. Observers have shared examples and captured the behavior in short videos.
