Unfortunately there is no per-site override. So you get to the occasional site that you don't want to zoom (like a game where the zoom gesture does something in-game) that is unusable with this global setting enabled :(

The original android browser had something much better, zoom until the size was right, double tap to reflow to fit

That's amazing! I'm already on FF on Android and didn't realise they introduced it. Thank you so much. I'll finally be able to see the small images on medium and substack!

OP might have meant that pinch and zoom is locked in and that’s why they can’t zoom into that screenshot?

Edit: I can zoom in perfectly in my browser - Safari on iPhone - here.

Not sure if you mean you work at Kagi, but I also want to add that when opening the Android app, the splash page takes a full second or so to load before the search bar opens, which doesn't sound like much but it makes it harder to habitually use Kagi as my default mobile search.

The Kagi widget technically solves this, but without installing a new launcher I can't replace the native Google search bar with the Kagi one.

It's blocked on Firefox on Android. Another comment quoted the meta tag which disables it.

I think Safari just outright ignores the maximum-scale property.

Yeah, I know the workarounds. This is more of a "complain publicly to maybe fix this specific case, but mostly raise awareness for people who will build the next thing".

So what?

His complaint is easily verifiable, and valid:
