It's funny Mozilla has a blog that renders about 20px to wide on mobile. The company that makes most of the web standards. Something ironic about that

This is caused by the string "sha256-tG5mcZUtJsZvyKAxYLVXrmjKBVLd6VpVccqz/r4ypFE=" which does not wrap properly. Using "word-break: break-all;" on the pre element would fix it.

That is incorrect. Mozilla is only one of the several companies and working groups that may be involved. MDN is documentation, not specification.

That, and this article in all likelihood was written by a single person whose main job isn't writing a blog. It definitely wouldn't have been been written by "the company"

You don't absorb your company's entire knowledge base just by virtue of working there after all

Renders fine on Firefox Android (no horizontal scrolling), but I do see the extra width on Chromium based browsers
It doesn’t render at all on my ipad pro with iOS 13.7. Actually it does render and then immediately turns black. People give w3schools a lot of flak but at least it renders and is usable on my ipad unlike the MDN docs. Do we no longer care about backwards compatibility, it seems not and that’s shameful.
FWIW the mdn blog works just fine without js so maybe try it while disabling javascript.
Im guessing this has something to do with certain protocols not supported on an (almost) 4 year old browser without any (security) updates.

This sounds like javascript behavior (MDN, to my surprise, is built on React).
