Any browser have it? Where you zoom in on a website and the text zooms and wraps where it doesn't disappear of the sides. Dolphin had word wrap, text reflow (whichever you want to call it) but that seemed to go away somewhere around Kit-Kat. Dolphin Jetpack was suppose to restore it but it never worked for me.
 
I think the Opera browser does it. Someone will correct me if I am wrong.
 
I never understood why this feature was phased out.... Like they were going backwards....
 
thank you. I also changed to tablet setting, so I can quickly add a tab at the top without having to go through another menu button first

Because site developers want control over the layout of their pages and the relative locations of images, advertising, etc.

It's not so much that it has "phased out" but that developers use more and more of the tools available in HTML and other languages to force the page to display as *they* want it to, not the way *you* want it.
 
it made the web much more accessible. web developers might like to have their strict controlled layout for a website but often this means small font assuming everyone has perfect eyesight which certainly isn't the case. at least all android browsers still offer font size adjustment which can help a little
 
Try writing to the web developer of whatever site you're trying to read. The proper web standards they should be following should give a mobile site that does this automatically.

There's so many different parts and ways to make a website do something that the browsers are trying to stop supporting it because it messes up other parts of it.
 
Currently browsers that support reflow: Opera (not Mini), UC browser (not mini), naked browser, lightning browser and HTC Internet (google the APK, it is discontinued)
Hope this helps
 
That's one thing I loved from my first smartphone, the HTC Incredible. The text reflow in the HTC browser was well implemented.
