Description
Zoom scrolling is horribly and unpredictably variable across browsers: there are no standardized units. This is mainly a problem:
- where some browsers are incredibly "quick" (eg physical mouse + firefox + linux) which not only makes it very difficult to control it also stresses the code performance;
- where some browsers are incredibly "slow"(eg physical mouse + chrome + linux) where zooming in and out are a slog.
- most things involving two fingers and trackpads are sensible.
Mitigations could include:
- a "speed limit" which would help prevent excessive zoom speed allowing us to veer in one direction for our settings;
- browser sniffing (don't want to do this);
- working out what kind of device we have from zoom acitons which we've seen so far (ditto but probably less bad);
- "minimum speed limit" (not sure this wouldn't be annoying);
- advanced browser API yet to be discovered.
