Can some of you with access to a Samsung browser please try
https://slashdot.org on a Samsung browser and some other browsers?
I use a Samsung S24 and a Galaxy Tab. Until a few weeks ago, the
Samsung browsers used to render Slashdot like other browsers do.
Something changed; I don't know whether it's a Samsung browser update
or a site update, but it looks radically differnet now - and rather
harder to read, with tiny text. Pinch to zoom allows the text to be
magnified, of course, but then the page has to be scrolled sideways
to read entire lines of text.
I'd just like to know why it is like it is. A solution would be
even better!
Looks fine to me, both in (Samsung) 'Internet' and (Google) Chrome.
Note however that <
https://slashdot.org> is redirected to the mobile
site <
https://m.slashdot.org>.
On my 6.5" Samsung Galaxy A51 screen, the text is indeed small, but I
can easily read it. In landscape mode ('Auto rotate' is on), it's even
easier. N.B. I have variable-focal (spelling?) glasses.
Samsung Internet should be up-to-date (28.0.0.59), because automatic
updates are on for Galaxy Store apps.
Google Chrome is 'old' (127.0.6533.103), because automatic updates
are off for (Google) Play Store apps.
