Summary

Smooth visual transitions as users navigate on the web can lower cognitive
load by helping users stay in context. However, the user experience is bad
if both the site author and the UA add these transitions: the transitions
may conflict and cause confusion for the user. This API avoids such cases
to ensure only one visual transition is executed at a time. The API adds a
boolean on `PopStateEvent` and `NavigateEvent` to indicate whether the UA
has executed a visual transition for this navigation. Authors can use this
to skip their custom transition.

Risks


Interoperability and Compatibility

This feature is a progressive enhancement. In the absence of the feature,
the author has to either conservatively assume there is a UA transition
(and not do a custom transition) or risk visual glitches from double
transition. As such there is no interop risk.


*Gecko*: No signal (
https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/783)

*WebKit*: Positive (https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/176
)

*Web developers*: Strongly positive Issues like this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66867737/iphone-safari-detect-swipe-navigation.
This is likely to happen more as authors can now use ViewTransitions to add
custom transitions in SPAs.

*Other signals*:

Activation

None


Security

None. The API is limited to same-document navigations.


WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that
it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

None


Debuggability



Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac,
Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?Yes

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>
?No. WPTs assert that the attribute is present but not the value. By
design, when this is set is left to the UA.
