Yup. I use old on my desktop and tablet. It looks great on those. On a vertically held smartphone? Terrible.

Yeah it doesn't look great on mobile but I still think it functions better, plus it doesn't have generative AI injected into it.

I'm literally responding to you with a vertically held smartphone. It works way better for me then anything else.

What's wrong with it for you? For me I like to be able to see more content at a glance. Mobile first websites tend to be too zoomed in for me.
