Using default Galaxy S4, kitkat, Samsung Internet browser (chrome/chromium based), the latest update (5/11/16) to the mobile website looks broken. (Not on downloaded Chrome)

enter image description here

Screen shot added. Title sizes are too big, pushing them onto a new line, breaking the flow and I know that's not as intended. The Paragraphs are also not filling the screen. Since they get pushed down, they align to the left edge, instead of the edge of the score/vote, so it's odd.

This is on both the main question list, and in the titles on an individual questions page. This also affects the answers.

This update went live at 4 pm est 5/11/16 or so, as it looked better before noon.

My User Agent (but changing it does not fix it):

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.4.2; en-us; SAMSUNG SM-G386T Build/KOT49H) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/1.6 Chrome/28.0.1500.94 Mobile Safari/537.36

Per other users, this is happening on iOS devices as well. Misalignment in questions thread and questions on iPod Touch (global)

To compare, how it looks on downloaded Chrome on same phone:

  • @oded correct default preinstalled. But it's not The Google Web kit based version found on froyo and earlier, it's chromium based.

  • Chrome downloaded looks okay, it's the Samsung browser that doesn't @bacon.

  • It's my first time seeing the new look -- it's the same on iOS's default Safari app. But it also looks the same on my Chrome. (Keep in mind, my phone and OS are both quite old, iphone 4S and iOS 7something).

  • Also, check if there's a setting that may modify appearance on browser, such as text size, font, zoom, etc. I don't know if it's only my feeling, but the font seems a little bit different on the screenshot... Or blame caching.

  • @Oded: Just a note: In recent versions of Android, Chrome is the default installed browser (OEM bloat excepted).
