Google Chrome Will Have A Much Better Scrolling Performance

Thanks to Microsoft.

Even though Microsoft and Google are always fighting these weird battles (at least when it comes to the Internet drama, from Scroogled campaigns to Windows Phone users blocking), it looks like the search giant has seen the light and will be implementing some of the Microsoft technologies.

The technology we’re talking about is Pointer Events API, which is already used in the Internet Explorer, Opera and Firefox.

Despite obvious benefits such as improved scrolling due to a combination of touch and mouse events into a single set, Google has resisted the change and focused on improving their own APIs instead. However, the pressure from the developers did change their mind

And just for your information, it did became a W3C Recommendation on February 24, 2015.
