      nealdave97 Hey, Neal! Thanks again for raising this here.

       

      We found this to be related to a chromium bug, which was resolved on the 16th of this month. Commenters on the bug state that this is now resolved, however there seems to be other issues open here and here.

       

      Can you tell me if you are still experiencing issues with the swipe lag on macOS? If you are, it's possible you are hitting one of the new issues linked above. I'd love to gather diagnostics from you if you are still seeing the lag. I can get you the exact details to get us a trace going if you are still hitting this, so that the team can dig deep into what is happening here. Thanks in advance, I look forward to your response! 🙂

        sorry for the late response but this is a gesture lag issue, not a scrolling issue. That is, swipe left to go back a back and swipe right to go forward. This is done using the magic trackpad on an imac/ trackpad on a macbook. These gestures prompt page back and forward almost instantaneously as seen in Google Chrome, however there is a period of 1 second or more after doing these gestures
