I found this very annoying too, and thought these were links at first. It can be fixed with:

  Array.from(document.getElementsByTagName("strong")).forEach(strong => strong.style = "font-weight: normal;")

in the developer console

..when consuming from a desktop browser

paste it with a prepended JavaScript: into the URL bar.

Had no idea it was that easy to run arbitrary JavaScript on a mobile web browser. Thanks.

not working here

Once you have loaded the page, paste exactly the following into the address bar:

javascript:Array.from(document.getElementsByTagName("strong")).forEach(strong => strong.style = "font-weight: normal;")

Safari will refuse and give an error pop up. Chrome will remove “javascript:” from the beginning if you paste, to prevent users from accidentally running arbitrary JS. You can type it back in by hand, and then it will work.
