Text reflow is something that seems obvious. It's beyond hilarious that other browsers don't implement it.
Maybe Steve jobs needs to wake up from the grave to implement sensible browser features.
Simple font size option is absent in IE for WP. The contraption they put in its place requires changing the don't size for the entire operating system - just because I want to increase the font size of a single article.
- bla2 11y agoThe Android browser used to implement it, before Chrome for mobile came along. I think text reflow appeals to a certain kind of power user but is confusing for most users. So it sounds like a good feature for Opera, but not for mainstream browsers.
- petra 11y agoHere's the bug report from firefox about this issue[1].They removed it because it's slow and because they feel that today page authors use large enough text. So maybe the sensible thing to do is to convince the firefox team to enable it as an option. [1]https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710298 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710298
- kbrosnan 11y agoOn Fx this feature is not in the code any more. It would be a large investment of resources to implement it.

- cvwright 11y ago> They removed it because it's slow and because they feel that today page authors use large enough text. This boggles the mind. Have they never actually used Firefox on a normal-sized phone?
- PeCaN 11y agoHTC Sense 6 browser still implements it pretty well. I still use it despite it being somewhat slow and annoying in other ways, because at least I can read with it.
