Dolphin does have text reflow. There is an option that says 'Auto-fit pages' in advanced settings, which is the same thing as text reflow. That option is the only reason I'm using Dolphin as my mobile browser. I used to use Opera before, but after they switched to Blink, an annoying bug that reloads a tab when it is selected, became a deal breaker for me.

Doplhin's text reflow works on some sites but doesn't work in HN. If I zoom a page of comments I have to scroll right and left, which defeats the purpose of zooming. Do you experience the same behavior?

It doesn't work for me either. The fault lies with HN. I think the reason text reflow doesn't work on HN is that HN styles its content using old-fashioned HTML tables instead of DIVs.

Yes, it's the table layout but Opera manages to reflow it so I'd say that HN is a difficult customer but Dolphin is not doing a good job at managing it.
