What specific section or headline is this issue about?

No response

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The page could benefit from these improvements:

• I think that page should make a distinction between the visual viewport and the layout viewport. It's - by default - only the visual viewport that gets resized when the Virtual Keyboard gets shown. The Layout Viewport remains untouched.
• There's also a link with https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Viewport_meta_tag#the_effect_of_interactive_ui_widgets, which can be used to opt into the overlayscontent behavior.

What did you expect to see?

Great point Bramus. I don't think I'm the right person to make that change on the page though. I don't feel confident enough doing it.

Will put it on my backlog, @captainbrosset. Thanks for the rewrite you’ve already done :)

if i tested it right this API also needs a Secure Context to be available. so i think we should add {{SecureContext_header}} right?
