Touch experience is quite choppy compared to the old Edge
Just wanted to add that I care about the touch experience in Edge so deeply that I am willing to block major Windows updates if they are going to replace old Edge before new Edge catches up with touch scrolling and handling including rubber band and smooth scrolling and zooming. I literally don't care about any other feature new Edge is going to introduce before touch is fixed.

Hi Stilgar, I was just playing with the touch scrolling with the latest Microsoft Edge Dev channel on my Surface Pro 3. I see the rubber band is working, pinch to zoom is working, and scrolling is fairly smooth. I tested side by side with the current version of Microsoft Edge. The current version seems to scroll faster, but not by so much that I felt it was unusable. Other than that difference, I didn't notice much difference at this point. What channel are you using? Are you seeing a vast difference in touch behavior between the current version of Microsoft Edge and the latest Insider builds? Thanks - Elliot

Elliot_KirkI have not tried the beta Edge because I didn't read a blogpost announcing the touch improvements only the intention to have some. Is your experience different from other Chromium browsers? Also did you need to enable any flags?
