Yup, a great talk with details here. And we do actually consider it an ad blocker, just one that attempts to raise the quality for everyone without hurting publishers! piped.video/Nv8WPbjPZjg

Great stuff for web devs in Interop 2025! View transitions, navigation API, core web vitals, anchor positioning, etc! We started the year with a low score (27%) so have a lot of work to do as a browser engine community to get broad interoperability on these important features!
