How will this affect analytics with tracking pixels, etc?
2 comments

I think that this could be a boon to pixel tracking. From my understanding, a site could embed multiple tracking pixels on a page to give a good approximation of how far the user scrolls and how long it takes them to scroll down the page, all without JavaScript.

I would be curious if this would also be apply to email clients that render using Chrome.

They address this in the linked document, and note that if you’re depending on offscreen elements to load content from your server, that will no longer necessarily work.
