OK, no idea why the Google icon was replaced by the ZD icon, but it does
seem to be solved.

For the benefit of anyone who may have a similar problem, here is what I
did to fix it.

Go to
system:/users/username/.kde/cache-computername/favicons

copy the png file:

www.google.com.png

Paste that file to the same folder, you will of course get the warning
that a file with that name already exists. Change the name to:

blogs.zdnet.com.png

When told that file already exists, choose "overwrite".

Done.

I had assumed that this fix would result in the Google icon being
displayed for all ZD.net pages. Which I considered less annoying than
seeing the ZD icon on all my Google search results. To test the fix, I
visited a ZD.net page. Oddly, I got a new ZD icon, one named

i.zdnet.com_images_200805_apple-touch-icon.png

After loading that page, the Google icon still displays correctly on
the search results page. And I have a new ZD icon that displays correctly
on ZD web pages.
