Should you use pointer events in 2026?
All modern browsers support them in SVG and CSS.
There is a modernizr plugin to detect support, which can be used to implement a JavaScript interceptor for elements which require pointer events to be disabled.
Polyfills and fallbacks
Progressive enhancement works well here: browsers without support degrade gracefully, so a dedicated polyfill is usually unnecessary.
