Auto-fitting web pages

Your browser has an auto-fit option which makes it easier to read large web pages with lots of text and images, such as news pages. When this option is enabled, your browser automatically refits images and columns of text on the screen when you double-tap the screen directly after zooming with your fingers. If auto-fit is disabled, you may need to scroll sideways to read a full sentence.
