Did anyone else notice the fact that on the home page, for any window width >= 1280px, the text "Your design. Our HTML and CSS" (in the body) overlaps the text in the footer (and is strangely hard to select for copying to the clipboard). In fact the footer tends to overlap the body at various window sizes. Can't help but think that you'd wanna at least get a simple thing like that right on such a page... Edit: I noticed it's using "rem" for specifying the font size, and I've actually seen quite a few sites where the font sizes look wrong using that unit, I'm wondering if it's something specific to my system (but happens both with Chrome and Edge).

On my Chrome/Android I have the default font size larger. And sometimes HN loads with my preference - and others it loads tiny. No rhyme/reason.

  On iOS Safari, sometimes the same element type on the same page will be different sizes (e.g. the navigation buttons on xkcd).

    I think you and the parent comment are running into a mobile feature that attempts to ensure text is legible: https://maxleiter.com/blog/mobile-browsers-resizing-font https://maxleiter.com/blog/mobile-browsers-resizing-font

Guess it wasn't just my system, they've since fixed this. Though at the cost of the footer never being visible without scrolling now (even at ~2100 x 1080 size).
