On: I’m Sick of Tiny, Tiny Type

I think this happened because people started copy/pasting the following meta tag in to their HTML, thinking they were adding better support for mobile safari, and not fully understanding what it does.

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">

Really you should only consider adding this element if your site is optimised for mobile, either through a responsive design or with a dedicated mobile site, and even then maximum-scale=1 is usually a bad idea.
