I’ve started using text scaling on HN (Cmd++ on Mac, available on mobile, too) and it’s much easier to read and pleasant to the eye this way.
Size increases, animation decreases (when your iPhone is getting old, turn off animation and behold it operating super fast!), etc can all be found there.
I zoom websites until they "feel right" which is usually something close to "they are as wide as the window I have them in" - HN is a few taps up from "actual size".
