TIL that there is a mobile version. But I don't see the advantages over the desktop version, as the images are not made to fit the width, so I need to zoom out of this mobile page to see the image.

  It's basically for the alt text, which you can display by clicking on "alt text", instead of having to hover to display the title attribute. And actually, it's better on regular computer for this very reason IMHO. A link or button element could be used though for this button. Fitting to screen width would not be great on many devices, the image could be too small.

    You can long press the image to get the alt text on the desktop website.

      Is it not cut when it's long? It was the case when I had a smartphone a few years ago, I don't know the state of it now though.

        You can tap the text: https://i.ibb.co/2SpWSTF/Screenshot-20240226-131157-Chrome-Dev.png https://i.ibb.co/2SpWSTF/Screenshot-20240226-131157-Chrome-D...

      Half the time on iOS, that now selects text within the image, which is cool, but not so helpful for the alt text.

And for those on RSS readers that don't like having to hover for alt-text... https://xkcdwat.joshka.net/ https://xkcdwat.joshka.net/
