This happens in Firefox as well. They're trying to use an adaptive algorithm to resize text intelligently, making "content" appear larger than nav bars and the like.
At least with Firefox, this fails when someone leaves a short comment and the algorithm doesn't recognise it as content. Even if Chrome fails in a different way, they're failing at the same (somewhat hard) problem.
Maybe it could fixed by, upon discovering content, ensuring that any similarly styled/classed elements had the same font size?
- vibrunazo 14y agoIs there any way to disable that? I already looked it up but didn't find it.
- shardling 14y agoIn Firefox, I believe that chaging the about:config setting font.size.inflation.minTwips to 0 might disable it -- that's the setting desktop firefox has. It's possible that tweaking some of the other inflation settings would allow for more pleasant inflation, though.
