This is so funny to me. So many websites have ridiculously large text and I have to zoom out to 66% or 50% to read them comfortably. I want to ask the opposite question: Why are fonts on websites so large?
HN is one of the few sites left that seem to have a normal font size.

On my laptop, higher resolution and less inches, it has to go up to 150%. I can't imagine using HN at 50%, I need my eyes for other things. Edit: tried it just for kicks. The mouse cursor fits three lines of text. Something is seriously different between our setups.
- elpocko 5y agoI have a 1920x1080 setup and my mouse cursor fits 1.2 lines of text. No DPI scaling or other shenanigans. I can read HN very comfortably at 100% zoom. Maybe this is the "adult supervision" thing everyone is talking about.
