Really? I actually read it fine as-is, and I’ve got the smallest iPhone (SE 2020) and a badly cracked screen.
I much prefer this plain HTML style, and it’s easy to change the font size, pinch to zoom, rotate to landscape, or use reader mode. I actually prefer this to the non-zoomable “mobile”-ified modern webpage. The larger view makes it easier to keep track of where I am in the text versus a contextless feed of huge font text.
Try holding your phone in landscape!
- politician 5y agoYeah. I know how to rotate my phone and I also like plain text pages. I don't like that Safari thinks rendering Times New Roman on a recent iPhone in what is effectively 2-point font and waiting for me to switch to Reader Mode is a good experience. A better experience would be for Safari to render it in Reader Mode by default for sites where it would look better by default. How could it possibly do this you ask? Render the pages to an offscreen buffer run an image readability heuristic to pick the one with better properties. Convert it to a bitmap and select the less dense one.
