Is hammertime still necessary in modern mobile browsers?

[RobbieTheWagner]

I admit I know nothing about the subject, but do we still need to be using this or is support for removing click delays on taps just built in these days? This SO post seems to indicate it's all built in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42250283/is-fastclick-js-still-needed as does this ftlabs/fastclick#514 @runspired @eriktrom

YMMV is the honest truth - https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150604

I wish i had a better answer than 'it depends' but i don't. Apple does what it wants, based on heuristics, w/o even telling which of their webviews or ios versions webkit bugs are applied to.

worth noting though is that hammertime is very simple, it just adds an linline touch-action: manipulation style to interactive elements. Changing this from a developer perspective is much easier on a case by case basis than the timer based approach that ftlabs/fastclick uses.

happy hacking :)
