Ah, I see, you posted it a few minutes before me, while I was still researching the correct link. It's funny that they declare this feature as "experimental", because it's not supported by Firefox and this document is from Mozilla. I hope they will support it soon, because this looks like a cool feature. And yes, Firefox is my favorite browser (since version 1 back in the days).

Also doesn't seem like it's feature complete.

The View Transitions API doesn't currently enable cross-document view transitions, but this is planned for a future level of the spec and is actively being worked on.

Edge is chrome.

As the other person said, Edge is Chrome. This may sound like we're just being obtuse, but the point is that this 'standard' may only be a standard on paper so far.

Google may have (half-)written and implemented the specification, without going the full way in the standardization effort, which is to say, talk to Apple & Mozilla:

  • whether they actually want to implement it. Even if OP thinks, it's the coolest feature in the world, it means real implementation+maintenance work for Apple & Mozilla, which they might simply not be able to afford.
  • if it needs to be specified in a certain way to help Apple & Mozilla implement it. Evidently, Google didn't specify it in whole from the start either, which may very well reflect on what was easy to implement for them.
