Please don't "fix" the "bug" that disables the "scroll to the top of the page when the user accidentally taps the top of the screen" behavior. I loathe this behavior, have never summoned it intentionally, and can't imagine why anyone would ever want it.

Really? I use that all the time. How else do you get back up to the top of a long list?

I'm not sure I've ever needed to do that in all my life. But about three times a day I accidentally lose my place on a long webpage and there's no Undo.

When scrolling itself is faster (as is currently the plan for iOS) the gesture is needed less, I assume, since one can just fling up.

I actually loved that feature on iOS. I have an Android now and miss it in Chrome.
