Why bother gearing up to a rant. Simply tell your browser to use a minimum
font size. If the site breaks then there is always their competitor just
over there --->

Know what you mean :-)

Same goes for sites that take forever to load. On cable here and if
something takes more than a couple or three seconds (let us allow that the
server may be temporarily overloaded) I look at my network icon. If it
remains flashing (that is, it's indicating I'm downloading stuff at up to
500KB/s) for another two seconds I instantly hit the back button and choose
the next search result.
