- bryanrasmussen 10y agosure, but generally if capabilities exist in the hardware applications will arise to take advantage of those capabilities.
- chrismorgan 10y agoIn platform-specific matters like this (text rendering, input handling, &c.), Microsoft has always led the way in IE or now Edge, Mozilla following after a while (admittedly often years) in Firefox, and Chrome typically years later. Firefox and Edge handle precision touch very well; Chrome… well, it’s OK these days. But definitely not great. I’m still waiting for Firefox or Chrome to actually implement the Pointer Events API properly. Edge does exactly what I expect, Firefox does almost everything as I expect, Chrome is simply terrible. And only Edge supports pressure sensitivity, so the Surface Pen only has full utility on Edge.
- lathiat 10y agochrome does its own crazy smooth scrolling stuff, it has also been changing a lot in the last few release. YMMV.
- tinus_hn 10y agoBut there won't be support if they are just one of many different types of hardware people have. That is probably why Microsoft is mandating them.
- anjc 10y agoThis is obviously a Chrome issue seeing as scrolling is super smooth in everything else
