Quote:Microsoft has become one of the biggest contributors to the Chromium engine, and given the new Edge version runs on the same platform, the software company has all reasons in the world to support the addition of new features.
 
One of the latest improvements that Microsoft wants to be available for Chromium-powered browsers concerns scrolling, as the company is working to add a Windows-specific touch-initiated fling animation.
A commit discovered by Leo Varela on reddit provides us with a closer look at how the whole thing would be implemented in the Chromium engine:
“This CL will enable Chromium on Windows to have a touch fling inertia that behaves more like Edge and other native applications. Note that this implementation does not modify the curve depending on the scroller’s size, something that may be desired. User feedback will be used to determine the importance of bringing that behavior to Chromium.”
