Mobile web browsing is a true nightmare on iOS. It's pretty shocking that it's taking Apple nine OS releases to address what's clearly a defect in their platform.
maybe the fault you find with Apple is not without merit, but surely you can't be suggesting that a websites choice of UI could possibly come down to apple.
Taking away all control from the user in terms of how their device's browser is able to render websites is all on Apple. They could've fixed this a long time ago. I'm not a fan of Android at all, but I've been tempted to switch back purely because of the ability to run a spam filter in my browser.
It this on windows phone too. It's not the phone's fault.
