I just zoom in to 115% on iOS and 120% in Firefox on my desktop computer.

  That is a great idea! No idea why I didn’t think of that myself.

  150% on desktop here.

    I'm 35 with no known problems with my sight, still 190%.

  The issue in the article was about finger clicking on links. On a desktop OS, you should not have issues using pointer devices. (On mobile devices, when using fingers to tap, one normally pinches to enlarge and re-pinches to adjust size... Although I am not really sure if this still works with nowadays' mobile software: I am assuming text reflow, being that strictly required, and last time I checked most implementations in browsers were broken.) For comfort in readiing, on a desktop OS, one is supposed to quickly adjust the zoom level with [Ctrl]+[Wheel], or [Ctrl]+[+/-] or similar...

    iOS safari zoom increases the size of the buttons (like expand/contract), so it’s at least a partial fix

  I zoom out to 80% in Firefox fwiw. There may well be more of you that zoom in, just wanted to point out it's not necessarily obvious to everyone it should be different in that direction.

  Yep, HN is one of the few websites I use my browser's zoom feature on. 125% is enough for me to comfortably read. Just a few lines of CSS could really improve readability here.

    My eyesight is terrible but 175% is the sweet spot for me on Edge. 125% is still way too small for me.

  Firefox Mobile doesn't have interactive zoom, nor per-site zoom settings. Font size is buried three levels deep under Settings > Accessibility > Font Size

  Yes, I have iOS Safari set to make all text 115% (that is, 15% larger than the default) on news.ycombinator.com and it remembers.
