Navigation being a default action in `pointerdown` or `pointerup` narrows down the "scope" of canceling navigations, which could be better in terms of not breaking current users' expectations. Otherwise, navigation would be cancelled through canceling any of {`pointerdown`, `pointerup`, `auxclick`}.
Between `pointerdown` and `pointerup`, `pointerup` seems a safer choice because it's perhaps reasonable to assume that canceling `pointerdown` is more common than canceling `pointerup`.
Do we have any data on how popular "forward/back buttons for navigation" is? Or what fraction of websites cancel `pointerup` events? If the product of these two numbers is small, the change should be safe.
