  Didn’t look like that for me, plenty of contrast and much sturdier letter forms. https://pasteboard.co/Xmg4tUPP9Cal.png https://pasteboard.co/Xmg4tUPP9Cal.png iOS 18.5 in app browser

    wow, interesting, and thanks for the feedback. android 13 here. I am not sure what the reason is, then. I tried increasing the brightness of my screen, but there seems to be no change. but a lot of people, including on hn, do say that this low contrast thing is a disturbing trend, and from quite sometime now. it's a pita.

      Android 16 / mobile Chrome here, it displays a dark font like the iOS paste above. It looks more like the browser is rendering the font color incorrectly than anything.

      forgot to mention that it is mobile Firefox. I had checked the settings earlier, nothing seemed applicable. interestingly, just now I tried it on mobile Chrome, on the same phone, and it rendered okay. https://pasteboard.co/pPrVKF3dyyhz.png https://pasteboard.co/pPrVKF3dyyhz.png (didn't think of that earlier somehow, dumb me, maybe because the page wasn't that important to me.) so it may be a mobile Firefox issue.

  Yeah, renders fine on my device too (ios 18.5 safari)

  Your fonts look different and much thinner than mine do on iOS/ safari. Do you have antialiasing turned off or something?
  • fuzztester 1y ago
    yes, thinner, which is part of the problem, apart from the low contrast. >antialiasing nope.
