Well, I'm not suggesting they do my idea instead of what they've done. I'm suggesting they do it in addition to what they've done.
I hate the delay between tapping the screen and the "click" being recognised. It drives me up the wall. I'd far rather switch off "Double-tap to zoom" for all pages (not just those with the relevant meta-tag) and use pinch-to-zoom instead.
There are obviously very good reasons to not disable "Double-tap to zoom" entirely or by default (primarily accessibility, but also the fact that people have gotten used to it) but where's the downside in making it a Setting so that people like me can choose to disable it? Okay, maybe the upside is quite small but there's zero downside and (given that they've already implemented the ability to switch "Double-tap to zoom" off if the webpage has the relevant meta-tag) it would be relatively easy to implement.
Making stuff like this user-configurable is a Good Thing. It's like when Apple changed the behaviour of the iPad's side switch in iOS 4.2 to switch it from rotation lock to audio mute and Steve Jobs said there wouldn't be a configuration option to let users change the switch back to rotation-lock [1]. A lot of people (including me) were disappointed. Fortunately, he changed his mind and iOS 4.3 made the function of the side-switch user-configurable in the Settings.

- jaffathecake 13y agoYou can actually disable tab delay all together in Chrome Beta. Go to about:flags and enable "Disable tap delay".
