One neat thing about #GNOME #Web (the browser formerly known as #Epiphany) is that, if you make the window really small—that is, about the size of a phone screen—the browser controls will change to a minimal phone-like appearance!

I figured this behavior was inherited from #Safari, but I happen to have a Mac in my possession at the moment, and no, desktop Safari doesn't do this. Just GNOME Web.

Interesting.

Was GNOME Web specifically designed to work without modification on phones?

GNOME Web's minimum window size is also extremely small for a desktop browser. It's almost small enough to fit on a watch, let alone a phone.

Side note: I'm pleased to announce that my employer's website, whose CSS was written entirely by yours truly, still works when viewed through this microscopic viewport. 😎
