Love the Archie comeback, but fuck arstechnica and their fucked up site format. They literally call themselves the „Art of Technology“ and can’t even get their website properly formatted for mobile. Pathetic.

It works fine for me on Firefox on Android. How is it breaking for you?

iOS Safari. The scaling is utterly fucked up. The page displays just half the width on load right off the bat. As one pinches to zoom out to get the full width, the font scales so small, it’s unreadable without zooming back in to half width. The site is peppered with ads to boot to add insult to injury. I don’t even try to hang around, good riddance.
