Zooms fine for me on my iPhone 7. Reader mode also works, which is like a magic fix crappy website button nowadays.
Tangentially, had anyone noticed a weird zooming bug on mobile safari that appears to cancel a zoom gesture and jump back to the unzoomed view? Quitting the app from the app switcher appears to fix it.

yes, it happens on my ipad pro running ios 12.2 (16E227). have been meaning to upgrade thinking that would fix it, but maybe that’s not the case?
Happens on my iPad Pro in the latest 12.4 betas, I can only bypass it by slowing down as I’ve zoomed in, a quick gesture snaps back and is ignored, but a quick gesture followed by waiting a second seems to preserve the zooming in. It happens most often on this site, for me, probably because I’m trying to zoom in to click tiny links, even on an iPad Pro.
What you are seeing is the default way a website looks on a mobile device, not anything that was opted into. The site does not 'disable resizing', it just doesn't have any mobile support. The author has chosen, thus far, not to put in the effort to support mobile sizes well.
