I have verified that with a custom UA string override for mobile.nytimes.com, the issue goes away. I used an iphone UA string:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 5_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/534.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Mobile/9A334 Safari/7534.48.3 But I’m guessing that an android one would do just fine, too. Santosh, would you mind adding such an override to the browser?
