With elastic bounce Chrome/Safari knows when my fingers leave the trackpad. Can JS know?

Question

When you overscroll a page in Chrome or Safari you can hold the page "overscrolled" and it will bounce back only after you lift your fingers from the trackpad. I would like to recreate this event, can JS detect when you lift your fingers from laptop's trackpad?

No. It looks like trackpad touch events cannot be detected in the browser.

Aside

This is a reference for all browser events: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events
