@view-transition {
  navigation: auto;
}

::view-transition-old(root),
::view-transition-new(root) {
  animation: fade 0.3s ease both;
}

@keyframes fade {
  from { opacity: 0; }
  to   { opacity: 1; }
}

To animate a thumbnail between two pages, the <img src=""> tag can be set to view-transition-name: product-image;

This is a microcosm of a much bigger theme: browsers are evolving to reward simplicity and resilience. They’re building for the kind of web we should have been embracing all along. And SPAs are increasingly the odd ones out.

SPAs were a clever solution to a temporary limitation. But that limitation no longer exists.

and I agree, SPAs are overkill for 95%-99% of the websites.
