Watching the SBF interview with Stephanopolos right now. If he says "HONESTLY" one more time I'm going to want to throttle him.

• Fullscreen & wakelock (critical for games)
• WebXR
• WASM threading & SIMD
• `content-visibility`
• form participation for Web Components
• CSS Custom Paint & other Houdini APIs
• Web Codecs
• Trusted Types
• PWA install prompts
• Sharing to PWAs (Share Target)
• Virtual keyboards
• every Fugu 🐡 API

This is nowhere near a full list.
