I thought that this was a pretty huge announcement, and the opposite of Google which a while ago said that Google Pay Lib is the recommend way to implement payments... I mean, it's not a million miles away, Google Pay is built on top of Payment Request, but it's not PR first.

And my favourite feature given my history with Web Intents.

Web Share API

Now just to get Share Target API and we are on to a winner! :)
