Is trackpad pinch gesture currently increasing page zoom level a bug or a "feature" ? It feels a little odd in this last update.

    Wryth josh_bodner  I noticed that using the trackpad's pinch gesture actually changes the browser's zoom level. The zoom level is not changed when you use the same pinch gesture on a touch-enabled PC screen, like a Surface Pro.

      Rahsna Asurac, it feels random. If I open a new tab, it zooms smoothly, but if I zoom a website that changes its zoom level, the new tab page will start doing the same.

        Yes, it does feel situational. As I mentioned in the feedback tool: Today Tab #1 was giving me issues, yesterday it was tab #2, while #1 was fine. It was the same pages as yesterday, so it's hard to say exactly what triggers it. But your post helped me to understand, that was what was happening, so I was able to include that info in the report, so thank you for that 🙂

    Wryth Yes, I have same exact problem to pinch zoom for touchpad user, also the scrolling experience seems quite not good.
    it felt like i'm sliding, where the previous version is much smoother for 2 finger scrolling.
