   Yet these days a lot of webdesign, including uses of CSS, centers around   
   catering only to a few browsers or devices and trying to achieve equal   
   or similar design, instead of truly presenting content that gets   
   rendered based on the platform/browser/device which once was a major   
   point in the web.   
      
   I wish the web were a happier place. Fortunately there are still   
   readable sites out there. May be outranked in search engines promoting   
   ad-ridden scrapped content sites whose ranking arises out of being   
   chrome-for-android-friendly, but they do exist.
