After closer analysis, there is nothing in the the actual W3C papers that state that the browser must be using the system font size as default. In fact, nothing says it has to be `16px` either. `medium` is also just a starting reference point and that's up to the user-agent. So, while desktop browsers applied the root element to use the system font size, that wasn't really part of the spec. Mobile browsers don't have to. But, because of that, applying W3C WAI's best practices for WCAG 1.4.4 becomes impossible on Chrome on Android without the authors creating their own custom text-scaling option just for Chrome. https://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-accessibility-mapping/#zoom-magnification So I think this implementing this would really solve an accessibility issue that's been plaguing Android users for years now. I don't know if I should open up another issue specifically targeting system font-size, or perhaps we can reach a consensus on the language of the issue. Perhaps we can rename the title? -- GitHub Notification of comment by clshortfuse Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3708#issuecomment-492271833 using your GitHub account
