  Looks fine to me, both in (Samsung) 'Internet' and (Google) Chrome.

  Note however that <https://slashdot.org> is redirected to the mobile
site <https://m.slashdot.org>.

  On my 6.5" Samsung Galaxy A51 screen, the text is indeed small, but I
can easily read it. In landscape mode ('Auto rotate' is on), it's even
easier. N.B. I have variable-focal (spelling?) glasses.

  Samsung Internet should be up-to-date (28.0.0.59), because automatic
updates are on for Galaxy Store apps.

  Google Chrome is 'old' (127.0.6533.103), because automatic updates
are off for (Google) Play Store apps.
