This is a followup to Chrome + Touchscreen + Unity (14.04) Has anyone had the ability to use touch-devices on newer versions of Chrome and Ubuntu? This seems to no longer work for me

chrome-unstable 45 works with touch on 15.04 out of the box. – firun Jul 24 '15 at 08:51

I found a combination of these answers is currently working for me. If I restart without the --touch-devices flag and then I navigate to chrome://restart, I get working touch.
I should note that that does not appear to include any kind of window controls (I can't drag the window around or resize it with touch), but it does fix scrolling, clicking links, clicking in the location bar, etc.

thanks, I went to chrome://flags/ and set "Enable touch events" to "Automatic" and touch worked – select Sep 01 '15 at 08:57

Pretty weird but in my case (Samsung Series 7 ULTRA, Ubuntu 15.04, Chrome 43.0.2357.65 (64-bit)) it started working after removing --touch-devices=$ID parameter.
It seems that chrome can autodetect touch devices now.

chrome://flags/#touch-eventsis something different than device id, if that's what you meant? – suside May 20 '15 at 19:49 -

I own a Dell XPS 13, running Ubuntu 15.04.
Touch does not work on chrome when I start it. However, if I just restart it, by opening a tab to chrome://restart for example, touch will start working!
