Glad to hear I'm not alone in this. Currently at 133%, so not quite as extreme.

Judging from the responses, this is actually a lot more popular than I assumed.

Which begs the question: Does anyone feel the default font is just perfect and wouldn't want it to be bigger even by a tiny bit?

I think, the font size around 105-110% would be perfect but the default one is fine as well. It definitely is the smallest default font I've seen on a popular website but it's workable for me.

I think it's perfect. What is your screen DPI (or rather angular pixel size from your normal viewing position) and is your browser set up to do any scaling based on that? Maybe it should be.

I really dislike the trend of giant fonts and whitespace.
