What does -webkit-text-size-adjust do?
-webkit-text-size-adjust
It specifies that if you(author) want's to resize the text when the browser page is zoomed. Most of the times it is better to set it to auto
or 100%
as the web browser will take care of how resizing of text is to be done.
Note : Mozilla devlopers page says its a non-standard

Interesting note : Developers using Twitter Bootstrap may be interested to know that Bootstrap uses ‑webkit‑text‑size‑adjust: 100%

Edit
Chrome on android phones uses font boosting, so -webkit-text-size-adjust
is being ignored no matter what value you set. You can disable font boosting it by setting max-height
to something large(100000px
or so) see this bug.
The -webkit-text-size-adjust
is an experimental technology specifies a size adjustment for displaying text content in Safari on iPhone. It takes 3 type of value:
none: The text size is not adjusted.
auto(default): The text size is automatically adjusted for Safari on iPhone.
The size in percentage at which to display text in Safari on iPhone.
Only some mobile browsers do support this CSS property beside iOS. You can check the compatibility here
There does not seem to be any published specification of -webkit-text-size-adjust
, but there is e.g. an informal description, which says that it works in Safari on iPhone.
According to CSS Mobile Text Size Adjustment Module Level (Editor’s Draft), auto
is the initial value, so -webkit-text-size-adjust:none
would have an effect only when it overrides a setting that sets the property to a different value. Presumably -webkit-text-size-adjust
works mostly the same way as the planned text-size-adjust
property.
