Yes, with Ctrl+ I get bigger text, but the margins stay the same and make the text flow further down the page so I have to scroll too often to read in a fluid manner. Compare to HN margins, which are smaller and when you enlarge beyond a certain point, the margins get even smaller.
- gwern 3y agoThat's odd, because that's not how browser zoom works. I checked in both Firefox & Chromium, and if you zoom in, the margins do get smaller & smaller and eventually go away completely when you reach mobile-mode where the text is edge to edge. (Are you sure you didn't do something like enable "Zoom text only" in your browser settings? That it works 'properly' on HN doesn't mean much because HN uses weird table layout for everything.)
- wintermutestwin 3y ago"Zoom text only" was enabled. I checked a freshly installed Firefox and that is not the default so I am unsure how it was enabled, but it was. Thank you so much for helping me solve this!
- gwern 3y agoGlad to hear that. I was worried that you would say you were using Safari. We keep having problems with Safari doing the wrong thing and we don't have convenient access to Safari instances.
