the operating system includes for “your convenience.”

I turn off the majority of these as i am not a keyboard warrior.

In Macs, there’s a great many in System Preferences in /Keyboards and possibly /Accessibility.

I usually use a Fire tablet when I surf on DU and other sites, and I never know when the font is going to shrink. I like to read it without my glasses, but due to the font always changing, I have to keep my glasses on. My computer doesn't do that, but the tablet is easier to play with. I get the computer out when I'm doing something important, but the tablet gets used a hell of a lot more.

option in Safari, the font is smaller. If I forget to switch back, DU is also smaller. Don’t know if this helps.

and I come back to an altered font. Annoying, but not fatal, yet.
