Web Browser Usability Issue

May 30th, 2008, By Anthony

I just wanted to voice my concern that even though Internet Explorer is working on version 8 and Firefox into its terrible 2’s already, the browser designers are still missing a massive usability issue. One of the most common problems especially with the advent of high res screens and laptop popularity is text size.

Plee to the Browser Gods

Please give more emphasis to enlarging text, maybe implement the simple “3 T’s” icon for text adjustment and stop hiding this functionality in a drop down menu out the way, I know Internet Explorer 7 brought it a little more into the limelight but I truly think the “3 T’s” or at least a letter “T” maybe with a plus and minor next to it would be a better solution.

The “3 T’s” or the Letter “T” have well know meanings as users are used to them in Office Applications. They are common place and a recognized icon for text.
