Summary

Disables Double Tap to Zoom (DTZ) when meta viewport tag is set to optimize the web page for mobile devices. In some situations Chrome enables DTZ even if the meta viewport tag is specified correctly which is unexpected to web developers. Having DTZ enabled introduces a 300ms delay between touchend and click events which degrades the user experience on mobile devices.DTZ should be disabled in all cases when a proper meta viewport tag is specified.
