I did read this also the other day, great news that AVM (FRITZ!) has officially kicked off the experimental FRITZ!OS 8.40 Labor (beta) branch, which serves as the testing ground for the next wave of feature upgrades.

Major Features in FRITZ!OS 8.40 Labor

• Native DNS Filter Lists: The headline feature is a built-in ad, tracker, and malware blocker operating directly at the DNS level. It allows users to import public adlists and block malicious domains natively across all devices on the network, effectively mimicking a Pi-hole setup without needing external hardware. 
• Expanded Matter Support: While AVM introduces Smart Home routines with multiple “if-this-then-that” triggers in 8.40, advanced models like the FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro and 7690 continue to see expanded implementation of the Matter and Zigbee smart home standards. 
• Real-Time Traffic Prioritisation: The software automatically identifies and prioritises latency-sensitive data like video conferences and online gaming, showing real-time metrics on the web interface. 
• Smart Home Overload Switching: Compatible smart plugs (like the FRITZ!DECT 200/210) can now be programmed to automatically switch off if an attached appliance draws too much power for too long.
