          Bumping post and chiming in that the old way of scaling was much better than the new Chrome-like "let's make random blocks of text gigantic".

          I don't want any font scaling to be done for me.

                  I am very disappointed with android browsers. They allow the advertisements to take the majority of the screen. Default font is too small. Difficult to copy text on webpage to paste elsewhere.

                  Difficult to edit what I type in a form field, comment field, new thread, etc. Unless i am using a slider smartphone with qwerty keyboard, I have to use a narrow stylus to move the cursor in betwwen words to correct error. Even a thin stylus which is thinner than my finger is too large. I have to tap several times to get the cursor in the right position. Very labor intensive. I dont know why tablets replaced laptops.

                          It would be a shame to leave Opera Mobile, as I do really like the interface, but this really needs to be sorted. I did use Opera Classic for a long time, but it just crashes all the time these days. Too often to be usable.
                          Opera Mobile needs :

                          • Option to increase font size.
                          • Option to force zoom on stupid sites that disable it.

                            +1, especially the second feature. The browser should at least have an option to ignore the disabling of zoom that some sites have.

                              It's impossible to use Opera without default font size settings.

                                I would love to have these three features

                                1. Font scaling

                                2. Force zoom

                                3. Full screen A.K.A no status bar

                                It would be perfect then!

                                  I have switched to Dolphins browser recently and it offer font size changing and on-the-fly text wrapping for different zoom level. I think this is the closest alternative to opera which I have been using for years due to the 2 must have features mentioned.
