MacBook Pro 16" Pinch to Zoom Delay in Google Chrome

[comolokko]

I bought a 16" MacBook Pro a few days ago. It is on macOS Catalina 10.15.2. When I use the trackpad to pinch to zoom in Google Chrome or Chromium, for the first 1.5 cm or so, it does not zoom. It starts zooming normally after that.

I don't have Smart Zoom enabled. Pinch to zoom in Safari and other apps works fine, starts zooming instantly.

Does anyone know what might be causing this issue?

That's simply how Chrome/ium works on macOS and I find it quite irritating as well. Apparently though, noone cares and complains about that so I don't think Google will solve the issue in the short term even if you report a bug.
I just stick to Safari and Firefox, they both provide a better trackpad experience.
