1241602 - Add telemetry for DOMMouseScroll and MozMousePixelScroll usage

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect, P5)

Description

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

I was chatting with rbyers from blink and would be great to get rid of both mousewheel and DOMMouseScroll/MozPixelScroll events.
But before adding even warnings, better to have some telemetry about the usage.
Unfortunately the usage is probably very high atm.

Yeah, I think so. I see a lot of web sites which explain how to handle mouse wheel on web apps are still introducing legacy events rather than wheel events. Sigh...

mousewheel stats for blink. ~4% today

Libraries like CodeMirror use a

  // Listen to wheel events in order to try and update the viewport on time.
  on(d.scroller, "mousewheel", e => onScrollWheel(cm, e))
  on(d.scroller, "DOMMouseScroll", e => onScrollWheel(cm, e))
