A comment on 300ms tap delay removed on Chrome for Android.

Double-tap to auto-zoom seems like a misfeature anyways. Wasting a useful gesture like that on a somewhat-redundant action seems odd. A 2-finger tap gesture would've made more sense since it would be related to the pinch-operation.

I can't agree with this. The two-tap is my most common gesture on my phone's browser. A two-finger tap would be extremely awkward one-handed.

Actually, fair point.

Misfeature? Waste of a gesture? This is my most frequently used gesture on mobile browsers. Probably even more so than following links.

Can't disagree with this. 2-finger tap to zoom to content. If only we could go back in time…

A two-finger tap is extremely awkward to do with just your thumb... (often the only finger actually available)

Try doing that with one hand.
