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.
