Adding this from https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133114 here:

Although there seems to be no immediate desire to implement the full Pointer Events specification (see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105463), it may be worth considering at least supporting the touch-action:manipulation CSS property/value. 
This recent addition (the "manipulation" value) to the Pointer Events specification is used - in essence - to allow developers to suppress the classic 300ms delay present on touchscreen devices that by default allows for "double-tap to zoom", while retaining other abilities such as scrolling and pinch-to-zoom. It offers a compromise to the often drastic preventDefault() commonly used in touch-optimised applications (which does remove the 300ms delay, but also kills any other default interactions).

touch-action:manipulation is on track to be rolled out in both Firefox and Chrome - see
