The Pointer Events API is a low-level input API for mouse, touch and stylus introduced by IE. Pointer Events extends the MouseEvent model while offering a replacement for all uses of Mouse and Touch events. Based on the feedback we’ve received, and the productive collaboration in the Pointer Events working group, I now believe we should implement this API in Blink.
After this Google u-turn, only Apple refuses to support Pointer Events.
Good. Apple now can stay the jerks they are.
Good on the Chromium team for taking feedback into account. This is a great outcome.
Your move, Apple.
But why are we saying that Google is doing this?
Isn’t Blink Open Source?
Wasn’t the community working on this for more than a year? https://msopentech.com/blog/2014/01/30/pointer-events-progress-mozil…
