You aren't being downvoted for being pro-Android. You're being downvoted for making non-constructive commentary. If you don't have anything to commit to a conversation, remain silent.
Really? A comment pointing out that this problem is solveable using existing features isn't relevant? Surely an angry rant about someone's preferences will force everyone to change their opinions about a subjective matter and is FAR more constructive. I expect all fonts on the Internet to be exactly up to Brent's expectations by next week.
Again, existing solutions to a subjective problem. Or an angry rant. Hm. Maybe we'll get lucky and next week we can have a "Fonts are too big" post in typical HN-opinion-volley style.
Actually Mobile Safari does not do this. It simply has: double tap on an element, and it zooms such that the element's width matches the width of your screen.
No reflowing is done. It may not be of much use; when I do this on HN, it only zooms in by a few percent because the elements already stretch most of the way across the screen. You are taking a magnifying glass to the page when you do this, NOT changing the layout to fit the screen and reflowing all the text.
