Touch experience is quite choppy compared to the old Edge

When comparing both browsers side by side it is very clear that Chromium Edge is not really usuable on a touch device.

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?
