Does sameSite mean you don't need to worry about anti-csrf tokens, or does it just augment it?

SameSite cookies can eliminate threats from cross domain requests. The strict mode is good enough to even block cross domain regular GET requests too.

However, I wouldn't throw other anti-CSRF measures away because if the attacker can use a stored XSS vuln, they can still make their way to a CSRF as well. Besides that, not all browsers support SameSite flag yet.
