Safari 26.2 added native support for the scrollend event, completing cross-browser baseline coverage alongside Chrome 114, Edge 114, and Firefox 109. The event fires once when scrolling definitively ends, eliminating the need for brittle timer-based debouncing workarounds using setTimeout. It handles touch release, pointer release, keyboard navigation, scroll snap, and programmatic scrollTo() calls. Use cases include syncing carousel indicators, lazy-loading content, analytics logging, and deferring heavy computation until after scroll completes. Progressive enhancement is straightforward via feature detection, and polyfills remain available for older Safari versions.
