The font size is just your browser&amp;#x27;s default.  You have your font size set too small.  This website is one of the few examples of doing it right.  How can a web developer know what your requirements are?  Only you can know that.  There are many bad things about the modern web but fortunately being able to set your own font size is still a thing.&lt;p&gt;Firefox even lets you set a minimum font size.  And there is an option to stop websites overriding your choices which helps with sites like HN (but not the one you are complaining about) which explicitly set a small font size.</text></comment>

If your eyeseight is that bad you should set it at desktop level anyway.&lt;p&gt;- All browsers and terminal emulators allows one to use his own defined fonts and size.&lt;p&gt;- Nearly if not all browsers and terminal emulators now allows you to zoom dynamically for that odd website and keep that preference.&lt;p&gt;- Firefox has reader mode, I guess similar extensions exists for most browsers.&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; And given how very simple it is to change, it&amp;#x27;s kind of insulting, s&lt;p&gt;Changing by which size? 16px, 32px, 64px? There is no single form of universality regarding eyesight. And I would argue that if your eyeseight is bad, the solution are prescription glasses, not websites with huge fonts.</text></comment>
