Has anybody tried this out on Hacker News? How does it display comments? The current (previous?) version handled this beautifully and was pretty much the only reason I used it as my default browser (chrome for instance is a total and utter FUBAR when it comes to text wrapping making in unusable (and I can't believe they still haven't fixed this)).

Yup, text wrapping doesn't work, it's slow and the font sizes are all over the place for some reason. I'm disappointed, hopefully this will get fixed in later versions.

By default it does display threads with posts in different font sizes and not wrapping lines if you zoom in. If you enabled text-wrapping (it is not a default anymore for god knows why), it will display with nice text-wrapping like earlier but it is so slow that it is unusable on my Nexus One.

I think the battle for working font rendering in Chrome for Android has been lost, the developers apparently consider it "acceptable quality" and are "ramping down development": https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84186 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84186 Which is pretty amazing, considering how Chrome for Android seems to horribly misrender every other site. I'm almost tempted to switch to Opera thanks to them just adding an option to disable this misfeature, even if losing sync with desktop Chrome will be a bit painful.

  I really don't understand how somebody could consider that to be OK. There's not even any logic (as far as I can tell) behind how it works. To me it appears as if it's randomly assigning font sizes to different DOM elements ...

I think it works very good when text wrapping is turned on. But it acts a bit strange when it's off. Tried it just now on my Samsung Galaxy S3.

  The last one is great. The first is a bit better than Chrome's but not by much. But I'll wait until they sort out the performance issues.
