Why do many mobile versions of sites disable zoom? What's the use case they are solving?
- leephillips 5y agoThat’s because they hired front-end “developers” to create their sites. The use case is that someone might want to use their website, which disabling browser features helps to prevent.
- cma 5y agoI guess like links on some mobile sites that you can't long press to open in a new tab, because they were coded as a weird button or something.
- derkades 5y agoThe reasoning I've head before is to prevent accidental zooming and make it feel more like a native app. Personally I just enable the option in Firefox to allow me to zoom in anyway.
