It's totally OK on a phone.

We clearly disagree about that. On my phone, the text is so large that it only fits a few words per line. It's insane.

 

Why can't users who want larger text use the browser feature to do this? Most browsers have an option to increase size but not one to reduce it, or I'd be using it on many sites.

 

I really find it disappointing when things change for the worse like this.

Didn't they abandon that?

Just tried it on my iPhone6.  Yeah, it's a bit large, but what I find more disturbing is the way the new font kerns on the phone.  The letter spacing seems practically mono-spaced--though I know it is not.

Seriously, you guys think this is too large?

I could get used to the size.  What would be really nice--and I silently wished for this even before this week's changes--is for the spacing between paragraphs to be lessened.  

I like it when folks start a new paragraph in a long post (those people who write endless blocks of text without starting a new paragraph drive me nuts!), but I think the massive space we now see will be discouraging of that.

 

So much wasted white space. You would think it was free.

I see the mono-spacing look on my iPhone XS as well.

Going from left - too small; acceptable; nice; perhaps a bit large.

Vivaldi has a convenient page zoom that dials in or out, and more detailed settings specifically for font size. It's quite respectful of user privacy. Built on Chromium, in case that's a no-go for you.

 

Edit: As boomers age, the Web is going to go to bigger fonts as a commercial accommodation, so I think it's something we're going to start seeing a lot of. This site specifically I'm sure skews toward an older demographic than the Web-at-large.
