> For what it's worth, this delay was already removed for sites that had user-scalable=no set. Most mobile "apps" used this.

Is this true for mobile Safari as well?

No, see the "Will other browsers do the same?" section of the article.

Ah, that's too bad. It would be nice if setting user-scalable=no was all you had to do to disable the delay. And anyway, despite using an iPhone for god knows how many years, I didn't even know that a double tap on iOS scrolls the page!

Edit: I mean double tapping on an unzoomable page.

Even then, I think being able to pinch-zoom is a great feature and gives you some accessibility out-of-the-box.

You can override the forced non-zoom features in settings.

Note that the chrome change from the OP is specifically so that you don't have to sacrifice pinch-zoom to get rid of the 300ms delay.
