I very rarely use Google to search on my iPhone however last night I did and all the results displayed favicons.
Thinking I was going a little crazy I did several searches and all results had favicons therefore this morning I tried an experiment with various PCs, laptops, tablets and mobiles.
All devices had cleared cache and history and I used Chrome for testing since I usually use DDG or Firefox browsers.
All PCs and Windows laptops did not show favicons, I haven't tried a Mac machine as yet however wonder after my iphone experiment.
An Android tablet did not show favicons whereas an Android HD phone did do.
Several Windows phones did not show favicons however three different iPhone models ALL showed favicons for several different searches, cleaning out Safari plus re-booting the phones still gave favicons.
And for all of you who have been complaining about the Google's SERPs let me tell you that every device gave differing results, some were fairly similar however most were noticeably different.
Anyone else seeing favicons?
