- gonzus 3y agoI wish I could upvote you a thousand times. I hate it when pages have a fixed width -- that's what reflow is for. Let ME choose how I want to read the content.
- Akronymus 3y agoTbf, I HAVE encountered sites where zooming in makes it even less readable/prevents zooming/adjusts the font size to be roughly the same when you zoom in.
- Tor3 3y agoYes, and that's why just HTML (without js unwished-for enforcement) is great.
- dev_tty01 3y agoYeah, sometimes I use that for a site that is otherwise well formatted but the font is just small. For sites I visit often I just save that as a site specific preference so I do agree with you in some cases. However, with reader mode it goes straight to my preferred font size, has nice margins, and basically everything is formatted in a very readable way. It still reflows and changes width with the window, but the rest of the formatting is better as well. I really hate text that goes right to the edges of the windows with no margins. Just a personal preference, but for me the quickest path to dramatically improved readability on some sites is reader mode.
