      Unless the programmers of this app are eye doctors, I can't see why they would use such a small font and disable font resizing.

        You can always pinch-zoom ... but unfortunately you have to do it for each page. Or do you mean the UI?

          I am aware of this. But even this isn't enough.
          Pinching zooms the whole page, which makes large portions outside the screen.
          What I need is to zoom text only, without page proportions.
          Not to mention how boring it is to do it for every single page.
          It's a pity that such a great browser has such a big problem that renders it virtually unusable for many people, while this option is available for many lower quality browsers, if not all other ones.

            Very funny that opera did not think of font size adjustment. A mandatory requirement in a browser app. Pinch zoom is completely different.

              Pinching zooms the whole page, which makes large portions outside the screen.
              If you enable text wrap in the settings, the text won't go off-screen. This may help a bit, unless you mean something else...

              But let's not forget some web devs block zooming in their sites...

                      Pinch zoom isn't an option.
                      I can't pinch each and every page that I open.
                      Come on guys!
                      This option is in each and every other browser.
                      Why don't you just add it?
