Or I can just add my own user CSS overrides, or change the default zoom or default font size, or change my viewport size, or rotate my screen, or... | |
| Nov 6, 2018 at 15:48 | comment | added | Peacekeeper | Hmm... I want to know more why do you think like this. I'm a designer and front-end developer, I code a lot of layouts I've created on Illustrator and Sketch app and I still dictate the design. "In HTML/CSS = you, the designer, merely get to suggest what it may be." This is kinda problematic in my opinion. | |
