Event Bubbling & Capturing

What does the third parameter (boolean) in addEventListener control?

document.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
  console.log('Capturing:', e.target.tagName);
}, true);

document.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
  console.log('Bubbling:', e.target.tagName);
}, false);

Whether the event can be cancelled
Whether the event bubbles
Whether to listen during the capturing phase
The third parameter in addEventListener (useCapture) determines whether the event listener is triggered during the capturing phase (true) or bubbling phase (false). When true, the listener is called during the capturing phase as the event travels down to its target. When false (default), the listener is called during the bubbling phase as the event travels back up. This allows fine-grained control over when your event handlers execute.
Whether the listener can be removed
