300ms, Fast Click & Accessibility

Thoughts

Caveats: I suck at accessibility, so I am probably wrong on a lot of things.

The debate

Chrome 32 on Android removes the 300ms delay on touch events for responsive sites. This disables double-tap zoom, leaving pinch to zoom the only way to zoom content. This is an accessibility concern, as for some users double tap zoom may have been the only way they were able to zoom web pages.

Why did they do it?
