A css fix would prevent this.

Also make the damn upvote buttons bigger on mobile.

Hckrnews.com is a far better frontent. Implemented the long line fix, and also preserves topics that were upvoted to the top and subsequently flagged to death by bot farms or the owners.
I was wondering what’s wrong with the HN site on mobile today. I thought something from my other safari settings carried over thinking is this another macOS / iOS problem. Good to know this time Apple is not to blame. Interesting psychology here how easy it was for me to go there.
Have you checked out Harmonic? It's an amazing Hacker News android client!
Opera browser can render any page in word wrapping mode
Not on Chrome or Firefox for me. So I assume you are using Safari.
This is an iOS 26 regression. There are a bunch of soft hyphens in there, which is why it works on other browsers and in previous versions of iOS.
It automatically hyphenates on Firefox mobile, must be a safari issue.
Can someone fix this? I don’t believe it is the first time
Brain figured out this title being the culprit of horizontal scroll today. Brain predicted this being the top comment in this thread. Not disappointed.
The long words must continue until word wrap increases.
