This, especially if you turned off the extra UI bits, under performance options.

On: Emoji as a Favicon Using SVG (2022)

This has been on my wish list for so long. I think Safari is the last hold out on SVG favicons - https://caniuse.com/link-icon-svg

On: Let’s make WordPress officially support SQLite

[josephscott]
