As I said, it's a two finger double-tap.

But also, under further investigation — and unlike with pinch-to-zoom — desktop support for the two-finger double-tap gesture seems to be specific to macOS. (Which is weird, because Chrome has support for arbitrary multitouch gesture processing to enable the JS multitouch API. So you'd think Chrome's support for "the multitouch gestures the OS expects" would be built on top of that generic multitouch recognizer [and therefore working everywhere that recognizer works], instead of expecting the OS to pre-recognize specific gestures and translate them to specific OS input events.)

I was trying on my phone, but my laptop seems to interpret it as a right click. Which, frankly, makes sense.
