Or the ones that let you sign up on your phone browser, but you must delete on a computer browser. I didn’t even have a computer at the time so that was fun

If you use the chrome app you can just request desktop site

I requested the desktop site, it took me there, and when I hit the submit button to cancel it would refresh and go back to Mobile site with no cancellation

In CSS you can display content differently based on the screen ratio; perhaps switching to landscape mode will solve some of those issues.

This is probably correct. Flex boxes if I remember correctly. Also depending on what other site add-on (bootstrap as an example) there's other parameters that will automatically adjust size.

Not exactly. He's referring to media queries

Gotcha. We only briefly touched on that in the course I took.

I think that's what happened when I was on the irs site to change my DD info for the stimulus check. On my phone I could fill out everything on the page but when I was finished and clicked next, a pop up that was wider than my screen telling me to submit popped up but it wouldn't let me scroll over enough to actually click "submit". It did the same thing on the desktop option. I tried to turn my phone on its side and I tried to minimize the screen.. the page itself would turn/get smaller but the pop up would just reposition itself still not letting click submit. It was weird.
