      Hi

      I wanted to ask how Google perceives a page which includes display:none - but doesn't use this to hide content but will use it in other cases such as:


      Is this dangerous to use in terms of affecting Google rankings?

        If you just will display icons then it's OK. But it's dangerous to display text with display: none:

        Because hiding text give "less weight" and you may get into trouble.
