    Please stop setting "zoom: 1"

    I've been doing web development for 10 years, but I have no idea why this site needs to add the styling "zoom: 1" to the <body> of every page. This breaks the Safari extension "ZoomBySite", which remembers the user's desired scaling for each site, reapplying it each time a site's page has loaded. It's a bit of a race between the two,but half of the time some misguided bit of JavaScript from this site comes along and overwrites the zoom level set by this extension.

    It's pretty annoying. I haven't run into this problem on any other website.

    Or why the web is so typographically broken?

    from site to site is like 6pt to 16pt jumps. Or worse! The BBC even between pages on their news.

    pale grey text

    Giant images that convey little.

    flat buttons

    non-standard links

    things that look like links and are not

    Do the people that design sites ever try to read the articles?
