zooming

Not 100% of my projects disable zooming, and I don't believe 100% of sites should disable zooming.

I listen to my users and none have complained about zooming where zooming has been disabled.

And yet, when a user expresses that they're having trouble reading the text by zooming, and you disable zooming, that's exactly what you're doing.

I'm not sure panning and zooming will help you feel better when the room is spinning so fast you can't read.

I can export a high-res screenshot if it would work better for you, but in general the mural is much better for zooming.

With zooming enabled, every tap you make takes 300ms longer to register because it's listening to see if that tap is a tap or going to be part of a zooming gesture.

Other reasons listed here are 100% valid, and workaround can be found without enabling zooming.

Anything that makes it easy to browse comment threads on a small screen without a lot of zooming and panning is great.

Please, tell me the reasons why zooming on a legible, usable design is necessary.

It's about right, and you can't be right all the time if you're stuck in the habit of zooming along all the time.

I can say for a fact that zooming on the grid would have been a better experience.

> Please, tell me the reasons why zooming on a legible, usable design is necessary Because what is "legible, usable" to most users still isn't to some.

Zooming does not help because you now have to pan right and left to read every line.

Zooming is enabled by default on Mobile Safari as a feature to help mobile users navigate sites not designed for mobile.

Zooming is a useful feature added to mobile browser that does serve a purpose: to allow the user to navigate a site that was designed without their device/hardware in mind.
