Each browser tackles it in a different way (see https://github.com/ftlabs/fastclick#when-it-isnt-needed https://github.com/ftlabs/fastclick#when-it-isnt-needed): * Chrome checks the viewport meta, as you mention * IE looks for CSS (touch-action: manipulation) on elements The change being made to WebKit will allow it to honor the viewport meta approach (e.g. when it disables scaling), just like Chrome does. So, if anything, IE is the odd one out now.
