Answer
Bubbling: Events propagate from child to parent.
Capturing: Events propagate from parent to child.
Controlled using addEventListener(..., true).
Quick Answer
Event bubbling: an event fires on the target element, then bubbles up through parent elements to the root. Event capturing: the event starts at the root and travels down to the target before bubbling up. addEventListener(event, handler, true) uses capturing phase. Default is bubbling. stopPropagation() prevents the event from continuing up or down the chain.
