Could anyone explain why b4 is rated as a blunder by the lichess engine. I don't see any obvious advantages for black If I follow the lines. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

But I win a tempo no? Might be a fair trade. (I ended up winning this game on a tempo) While the alternative bishop move (which is objectively better as rated higher by the engine), dedevellops the bishop and loses on tempo.
