The double-tap to zoom on Android browser..just works! It perfectly flies in to the content, adjusts text size beautifully and rearranges the images linearly. If one reads a lot of content online, this feature is beyond awesome.
- rimantas 15y agoYeah, it also works on iOS. Since the first iPhone.
- arihant 15y agoNo it doesn't. What does it do when you double-tap HN page on iPhone? Do that on an Android and see what happens. All it does on iOS is zoom till it removes the padding. On Android, it makes it a readable list, with correclty sized upvote icons, perfect reading size. It, in a way, instantly makes HN a mobile site. This is more than just zooming.
- wvenable 15y agoNo, it doesn't. Safari does not reflow the content of a page like the Android browser does . You can zoom to a text block, yes, but you can't make that text block bigger with wrapping. Reading stuff on mobile safari is more frustrating because it's lacking this feature.
