Wow. I've somehow missed this little gem. I usually requested the desktop site via the share sheet option but this is far nicer. Ditto for a quick way to disable content blockers. Thanks!
I didn't claim cross-dc consistency. I said failover, which is shockingly hard to make many competitors do. The key here is that only one DC can take writes but the failover works transparently with your client (also with clear SLAs).
Having evaluated both, I'd say Cloud Spanner is quite a bit behind in some regards. It's not that Spanner itself can't do something but that Cloud Spanner hasn't productized some important features like multi-datacenter failovers. It's certainly coming but CosmosDB (aka. DocumentDB) does a lot of this today (and has been for awhile as this is not entirely new).
