Microsoft pushes patch for new WebKit Pointer Events

In September, Microsoft announced that it had submitted a proposal for a new web standard to the World Wide Web Consortium. It is reported that Microsoft's new standard Pointer Events can provide developers with more input methods, including the mouse and keyboard that users are very accustomed to, as well as the recently popular touchpad and touch screen. This week, Microsoft's Open Technologies division announced a patch for the Poniter Events specification, and developers of WebKit pages will benefit from it, including Google's Chrome browser.

In addition, Microsoft hopes that developers will be able to give feedback to the WebKit community so that they can make all the specification entries available for the current development projects.

However, this move by Microsoft has undoubtedly helped its competitor Google to some extent, so why should it do this? Microsoft gave the following explanation: "Obviously, in the context of the continuous development of relevant specifications and the need to maintain interoperability between Webkit and IE, we are developing the existing and recently popular input methods. Hold a very strong interest. According to Ars Technica, Mozilla and Opera, the finalists of Microsoft, Google and Firefox, are currently working together to optimize the Poniter Events specification. The only option to "sell" is Apple. Recently, Apple announced that it will stop providing Safari browser support for Windows. Ironically, the rendering engine used by Safari is based on WebKit technology.
