The difference is that the new backdrop filter is applied to the content that lies behind the element with that style; it’s like a fancy kind of opacity that let’s the underlying content show through. The old blur filter is just applied to the content within the element to which it is applied. The reason that browsers are adding this effect is because iOS, macOS and Windows all use it extensively in their windowing UIs.
