Not. And yes.

I did some analysis of it when it came out to figure out what all is blocked and such: https://www.sevarg.net/2022/07/20/ios16-lockdown-mode-browse...

Animated gifs in text threads don't animate - which, personally, I consider a feature.

And webfonts aren't loaded, which means a lot of forums that load icons as a webfont have a lot of squares instead of arrows for reply and such.

You can disable it on a per-website basis, and I don't do much in the way of facetime and such, so I've not really noticed it. It does remove a LOT of complex attack surfaces, though, which is worth a lot.
