This makes me want to write a post about the rabbit hole that is icon optimisation. It drives me insane when websites suffer from layout shift simply because they are not inlining their icons, for one.
Honestly, I always default to material icons unless a project calls for a very specific style. The coverage is just so dang good I rarely find a scenario without an appropriate icon and the style is neutral enough to blend in with a number of UI designs.
https://icones.js.org/ is a good site to search through these IMO

Question to all HN Users: what is the best icon library?
