this++ to opt out of the mobile version. This should always be possible.

Tips for mobile developers:

Don't make it impossible to zoom.

Don't make it hard/impossible to get to the desktop version.

Don't make it hard/impossible to view in landscape (I am amazed at the "rotate your device" popups)

Don't make your popups impossible to dismiss on mobile (can't get to the X due to size/positioning)

Don't download megabytes of javascript to display a small amount of text content.

Do support "reader view" (in mobile Safari) or equivalent, so I can get a view that is simply readable AND accessible. Sorry that this overrides your hard work, but really I just want to be able to read your content. Your ads are fine, if they don't use all my bandwidth.




This should be a manifesto, a bit like "contrast rebellion"
