Hello:

The 70.x upgrade, needs to check a flag into Chrome config becouse Surface
devices doesn't work like a tablet now. With previous versions, when a
simple javascript source code detects touchstart event, Surface works fine
without any configuration, but now, with this release (70.x), this type of
events fails.
Why?
We need to launch chrome with diferents profiles and this is a problem for
us.

Is it possible to launch chrome with a flag for this topic?

Thanks.

I think you should be able to just bind your touch event listeners in your
javascript. There is no need for feature detection anymore.

Thank you very much.
I will make a example for it, using pointer-events with a facade for
differents devices.
