Actually, I don’t know what’s involved in readability mode, it might incorporate being able to resize the columns and fonts to make thing more readable.

Didn’t we used to have a mobile version?

jonb: My standard workflow on geekzone is zoom in to the recent posts section and ignore the rest of the page

I'm more if looking at a watch topic, and viewing from email notification

I played with the font zoom, and it just borked the entire screen, buttons missing etc.

Stu: Opera still works fine. Text reflow is the only reason I still use it

I use it on my mobile solely for GZ - I haven't found another browser that will do this.

I looked at this and it seems some browsers (Chrome, Edge) don't respect some of the CSS and decide "what's best".

Opera follows the CSS and does reflow as well.

Yes, I know your pain. I did a remote debug once using Chrome and regardless of whatever was in the CSS the browser decided on the very large font size.

Apparently it's a "feature".

I kind of understand the reasons for this. Web implementation can be atrocious and users expect browsers to render everything equally well. Original IE used to allow some real horrors and still display correctly. If Google provided an option in Chrome to enable strict compliance (or whatever might be needed here for reflow) that would be nice. I'm thinking there may be more to it and Opera has added some special sauce that Google is unwilling to 'pollute' the specified behaviour with.

 

Having said that, Opera does the reflow and the font size the way I expect from the CSS. Chromium is the one turning into IE these days. 

Having said that - if anyone is good at CSS and can make changes that keep the current the current desktop look/feel/behaviour but get rid of those large fonts on mobile, please let me know.
