- yareally 13y agoOn android at least, you can tell your device to override it under accessibility settings for the stock browser.
- notatoad 13y agoI had disabled it on one of my sites for a couple days because it was messing with rotation on ipad. If you set a min-scale of 1 (necessary to make anything responsive work properly) and then the user rotates their device, it's going to move to a different zoom level. Setting min scale 1 and max scale 1 keeps the zoom level consistent through rotation. Turns out nobody other than me cares about the zoom changing on rotate, and everybody wants pinch to zoom.
- coin 13y agoIMO it's best to not optimize for mobile as it just makes it worse.
