I think it’s correct that we can’t test it with top-level navigations, but can we test it for iframe navigations? The way I understand https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/11454 iframe navs should also get the new behavior.

I agree from the notes that the sentiment looks positive but statements like “I don’t think we will regret this” are not as firm as I’d like :). The spec PR is currently under review from Gecko.

The lack of user activation in the post-navigation page prevents some use cases like showing virtual keyboards on auto-focus, and this has been a blocker for the developers who want to build MPAs over SPAs.
