How did people visit sites using ipv6 addresses before this? Ipv6 has been around for years. Seems like a slow pickup

Well, on desktop it worked. So you could do it that way. But on mobile, what you had to do was go to a website like Google, add it as a bookmark, and then edit the bookmark and change the web address from Google to the IPv6 address.
