-webkit-text-size-adjust
When it comes to resizing text on a browser page, the use of auto
or 100%
is generally recommended as the web browser handles text resizing more effectively. It's worth noting that this property is considered non-standard according to the Mozilla developers page.

Interestingly, developers utilizing Twitter Bootstrap should know that Bootstrap automatically sets -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%
. More details can be found here.
Edit
It's important to note that in Chrome on android phones, font boosting is activated which means that -webkit-text-size-adjust
is ignored regardless of the value you specify. To disable font boosting, try setting max-height
to a large value like 100000px
. Additional information on this issue can be found here.
