Off topic: This site is next to unreadable on my phone.

Zigzagscrolling is an insult to the audience.

The line length is hilarious.

Press the little book icon (or F9 in Firefox desktop), it fixes this just as it fixes so many other unreadable web sites.

Luckily our clients aren't completely strangled yet so this still works. How meta considering the subject.

It looks fine to me. (Firefox / Android)

It's perfectly readable on my phone and with various device dimensions set in my desktop browser.

If Safari supported extensions then you'd have the ability to resolve this by installing something like Readability.

If iOS supported other browsers then you could read it in a Chromium based browser, where it appears completely readable.

> If Safari supported extensions

iOS Safari does support extensions. I've got a handful installed on my phone right now, including Userscripts to apply custom formatting and styling to this website.

Safari does support extensions. And it has built-in Reader mode. And it needs none of that for this case since the website loads perfectly fine with no zigzagging required.

What Apple is doing sucks, for sure, but let’s not lose sight of reality and make stuff up or misinform people.

But why should you need extensions to go around some site disrespecting you?

Me too. Using Safari on iPhone now. Is it intended?

Problems on ultrawide desktop too (severe horizontal scrolling).

To partially fix, open dev tools and change the body tag's display:grid to display:block. I'm not sure how you can stuff up a single column HTML article, but they've managed to.

It looks completely fine on my phone, what browser are you using? Did you perhaps leave Desktop Mode on?

Since Alex is here in the comments, I'm sure he'd reply if he had fixed something between each of us reading it.
