Google Chrome on Jellybean - large menu text on AT

[fuzzybabybunny]

Sometimes when loading the forum I get this:

Other times I get this:

Both are at the same zoom settings...

proof that chrome still needs work

 

[thescreensavers]

Chrome needs to become the phones stock browser and they need to get it to support flash, yea I know it prob wont happen.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

the former is likely, but the latter... nah.

well now that I think of it desktop chrome has a built in flash player, but given that flash is a dying breed especially for mobile, maybe but maybe not.

This happens to me too, and often the quoted text is significantly larger than the normal text. I usually use tapatalk, but on my tablet I prefer to look at the full site.

I like browsing the regular ole forums on my mobile devices. Tapatalk does make it slightly easier, but it looks ugly.

if you have access to wifi or 4g there is no reason to use tapatalk.

http://atforums.mobi/ is another option.

Why sacrifice function over aesthetics?

Cause it only makes it slightly easier, but much more ugly.

I found tapatalk to me quite useful, not for speed reasons but for layout reasons. The forums are not mobile friendly... lots of panning as it doesn't fit to width right, etc. Plus it's really easy to bounce between forums.

This. I actually like default ATOT better than Tapatalk. Default ATOT is easy to read from the formatting, Tapatalk just mashes everything together.

It's not really an improvement.

writing/editing text in a text box on android is like trying to eat spaghetti with a spoon. this is why i use tapatalk.

 

[Ravynmagi]

I use the browser because it's a lot faster than Tapatalk.

 

[Demo24]

Tapatalk also pisses me off in that it never remembers my 'last read' like the full site does, and tapatalk can't handle gifs nor most images very well.

What's the point of tapatalk? The AT forums aren't exactly demanding, and will easily load in any modern mobile browser.

Find the stock browser from ICS(which was still updated in JB), it's faster and renders better than chrome still. It'd be nice if google focused on one but apparently they're still doing both.

Which browser are you using?
The default android browser reflows text pretty nicely for me:
