Stock Browser not Reflowing Text

[gilbequick]

Is this normal? My old phone running gingerbread would reflow the text to fit the screen, no matter how much you zoomed in or out. How in the world do I get the text to reflow??!?

It's in browser settings have you checked and enabled it

I've looked and looked and for the love of it all I see that option NOWHERE. I'm about to lose it.

It's not in the stock browser or chrome... Text reflow is NOT the same as double tapping to zoom in or something like that. Boat browser does it, Opera Mobile does it, and Dolphin Beta does it (though this one requires you to pinch in and then double tap)

I wonder why that feature was removed. I've tried damn near every browser out there and I always come back to the stock browser. This time I might not

I used to use boat sometimes, it's pretty similar to stock, I'm going to give that a shot again just on this new device. Thanks for the suggestion and clarification.

If you're talking about text reformatting when you enlarge the text try Opera Mobile. I've tried other browsers but they don't handle text as well as Opera Mobile does.

Yeah boat is the closest to stock in my opinion too... I've never had the feature on the s3 so it was never really "taken away". I've had it on HTC phones before, so some do and some don't. At least we have the option to use a browser that DOES do it.... On my iPhones I was SOL.
