    Yes, I noticed that it is much, much harder to read. I increased the text size so I could read the questions. Just click on the View menu and select Text Size > Larger or Text Size > Largest.

    Nope, but then I use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer (IE).

    With that you can use ANY size - even on those pages that IE won't change for nothin!

    Default's keys are "control +" to increase and "control -" to decrease (and/or mouse wheel and a key of your choice).

    And you can start with you own default (and, if wanted - different) fixed and proportional fonts and sizes also.

    No more 5 sizes fits all - ("unless it's a certain font type - and then we'll ignore it totally") - like with IE.

    Yes, I see the difference, they did shrink it.

    Or I guess I should say I "saw" the difference, because I did the control-scroll thing and I'm no longer squinting!

    YAY!
