Opera

Yes. You put two fingers on the screen and move them apart and the text will expand. Move them closer together, and the text will get smaller. When you remove your fingers, the page will regenerate in the altered text size, and you won't have to scroll horizontally to read a complete line. This works great for text-intensive sites like FR.

This feature used to be universal among Android browsers. AFAIK, these days, only Opera has it. My guess is Google, the Android operating system developer, has throttled the feature, but Opera has forcibly instituted a workaround. And only Opera has it. Opera Mini, its less resource-intensive midget cousin from the same company, doesn’t.

Had that problem with mine at one point. Had to go into settings and change the font size. At some point an update switched it back to normal. Try searching chrome font size settings.

I had to read FR on landscape mode for a while. I have no idea how I fixed it.

Opera browser is by far the best for reading FR. (And other heavy text sites as well)

It has auto reflow and you can increase or decrease font size anytime with just a pinch of the screen or a double tab and drag, and it auto reflows so you don’t ever have to scroll sideways.

Once you try it, you’ll never go back.
