Didn’t look like that for me, plenty of contrast and much sturdier letter forms.

iOS 18.5 in app browser

wow, interesting, and thanks for the feedback.

android 13 here.

I am not sure what the reason is, then.

I tried increasing the brightness of my screen, but there seems to be no change.

but a lot of people, including on hn, do say that this low contrast thing is a disturbing trend, and from quite sometime now.

it's a pita.

Android 16 / mobile Chrome here, it displays a dark font like the iOS paste above.

It looks more like the browser is rendering the font color incorrectly than anything.

forgot to mention that it is mobile Firefox.

I had checked the settings earlier, nothing seemed applicable.

interestingly, just now I tried it on mobile Chrome, on the same phone, and it rendered okay.

(didn't think of that earlier somehow, dumb me, maybe because the page wasn't that important to me.)

so it may be a mobile Firefox issue.
