title: Google Chrome Pinch-to-zoom prevention
body: <p>I'm developing an app for Chrome on a Microsoft Surface Pro 2 running Windows 8.1. Recently, the Chromium team decided they wanted to add the pinch-to-zoom gesture in Chrome for Windows 8, which is all and good. They did not, however, add a flag to disable this behavior in Chrome's settings for those few of us that don't want pinch-to-zoom functionality. </p>
  
  <p>Now I'm left trying to disable the browser's default behavior by other means. The first thing I tried was to add this meta-tag:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.5, maximum-scale=1.5, user-scalable=no" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It had no effect. I've also been trying to use the hammer.js touch library to disable the behavior with limited success; pinching sufficiently fast enough still zooms the page.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of a effective way to disable the pinch-to-zoom behavior on Chrome for Windows 8.1?</p>
