I went with the other techie solution: resizing my browser window.


Since I have a ton of tabs open and jump between them, this ends up not being a solution I use anymore.


How do you do that on mobile?


Who read article like this on mobile? In a pinch, I'd just activate Reader Mode (Safari, iOS), or more likely save it for reading on a bigger screen (tablet, laptop,…)


> Who read article like this on mobile?

The irony of this on an article about how developers ignore users on low-performance mobile devices


Read it on iOS Safari, without reader mode. Worked great.

Only thing that annoyed me is that there are very lengthy appendices. Thus the scroll bar suggests the main article is much longer than it actually is.


I just read it on Firefox mobile without reader mode.


Its already perfectly readable on mobile either vertically or horizontally (a rare affordance these days)


Might be for you, but the tiny text and cramped line height makes it painful for me

Pretty sure the text size is likely to be marginal from an accessibility PoV, and the line length doesn’t aid readability


This page doesn’t specify _any_ font size. It relies on your browser to choose an appropriate size instead. If the text is too small for you to read, then your browser settings for default font size are wrong.


Firefox on Android has a button to activate Reader Mode right in the URL bar.


Flip the phone into portrait mode.
