High DPI settings screw up native UI too if it's not

course when site design strays from how web was designed to
work, it runs into problems, that should be obvious.
The highest-DPI devices I use nowadays are mobile devices and,
in my experience, websites are the ones who most often get it
wrong.
I mean only design possibility, which is not taken advantage of
in modern web, unfortunately.
That's usually related to tiny text, but that affects the
overall layout too.
Designers like their 5-pixel fonts and believe everybody will
appreciate them. But I think pixel-oriented design is a flawed
design choice for web, web wasn't designed to work that way.
