Feedback on the speculation rules API itself has been relatively limited.
We had one issue where server postprocessing incorrectly interpreted a
<script> with a non-JavaScript type.

Related to prefetch, we're aware of issues relating to how prefetch
requests, especially anonymized prefetch requests (which emerge from a
Google IP not necessarily in the exact same location and thus might affect
GeoIP-dependent responses), can be easily identified by server software
(and are working on updating the spec and implementation to send a clearer
signal in the request headers) and how best for servers to indicate that a
prefetch cannot be used without adverse side effects.

Yes, these are new since the previous extension.

This change landed recently. If the user enables extended preloading in
Google Chrome, then any site can request prefetches which require IP
anonymization. If only standard preloading is enabled, then any site can
still be prefetched anonymously (subject to the other conditions on that),
but only some sites can request it.
