The headline is about the View Transitions API being available natively in browsers, replacing paid libraries for page transitions.

Short summary

The browser's View Transitions API now handles page navigation animations natively, eliminating animation libraries for this use case. Deploy smooth cross-fades with one CSS rule (@view-transition { navigation: auto; }), or create morphing effects by matching elements with view-transition-name—a thumbnail morphing into a hero image—without any JavaScript. Support spans Chrome, Firefox, and Safari with graceful fallback to instant navigation in older browsers.

• •One CSS rule enables smooth cross-fade transitions on page navigation
• •Element morphing (thumbnail to hero) done with matching view-transition-names, no JS
• •Full browser support (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) with graceful fallback
