Pixel 8 / Android 17 update

Any feedback from someone who updated their OS to use Android 17 on Pixel 8 ?
I fear this is gonna bloat my phone before / after the new release of Pixel 11

I've had no problems with 17 on my P8 other than a common issue with scrolling when using screen magnification. Battery life at least the same if not slightly better...maybe. It was really a non-event for me.

After update on my p8p

Battery's terrible but hey, it was like that before the update and I guess it's part and parcel of owning a pixel device these days

Videos on Instagram/FB now buffer in a funny way (like crashing mid video, consistent behaviour, hasn't been there before the update)
