  The title is indeed a little misleading since it implies that us already the case.

Finally! Still gotta wait for all the major browsers(iOS) to support it. Till then, use fastclick(https://github.com/ftlabs/fastclick https://github.com/ftlabs/fastclick)

Apparently Chrome + default android browser = all major mobile browsers. No Firefox or Safari support yet.

  Safari should be a few weeks away (iOS 9.3 in late beta stages). Firefox already supports it just not enabled by default (except on Windows 8 mobile). Just a bit premature on the tweet.

  Firefox mobile market share is less than 1% (https://www.netmarketshare.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qprid=0&qpcustomd=1 https://www.netmarketshare.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qpr...) The title says "major mobile browsers" reply

  Firefox doesn't have the tap delay anymore. The only remaining browser is Safari, and that is going to be fixed in iOS 9.3.

    Firefox doesn't have the tap delay when you use the meta viewport thing to make your page unzoomable. CSS touch-action is still not enabled: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=960316 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=960316

      Why do people keep confusing the viewport meta tag with unzoomability? Those concepts are not one and the same. The default (i.e. most popular) viewport meta tag does not prevent zooming, while it does remove the tap delay in Firefox for Android (and also all other browsers except Safari, but version 9.1 next month will fix that). So, if you have a responsive (mobile-optimized) site, add `<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1,shrink-to-fit=no">` and you’re set.
