It's just a mobile thing due to pixel scaling. In the overflow menu, of the browser bar, check the "desktop site" box and you can zoom in.

- nohuck13 5y agoYou'd expect touch-gesture zoom to still work under pixel scaling though. You'd expect to just see a downsampled image up close, plus normal-looking text up close, right? Here even the text doesn't zoom.
- pfooti 5y agoIf the viewport meta tag includes user-scalable=no, then it won't scale on mobile. Personally I don't like that setting much, since it is bad for a11y. It does also prevent accidental zooms when users intend to scroll, so maybe that's a use? Often times the meta viewport tag (which is quite arcane) is just copy-pasted without deep knowledge of what it does.
