You're using a browser that's 9 years out of date (Apple ties Safari updates to OS updates) so there are many modern HTML/CSS features that won't work properly on your device. Even something as common as "display:grid" isn't supported on your device.

Let it die brother

+ basically all bootstrap components are completely incompatible. using ancient browsers is kinda like browsing the internet but your pages never load


Hands

Wikipedia doesn't use bootstrap as far as I know (and if it did it would be an ancient version) and [the desktop version is quite backwards compatible](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Browser_notes) such that even a decade old browser shouldn't be that much of an issue. I'm guessing this is a font rendering thing or an issue specific to the mobile version of the site (or to nonstandard template code on Arabic wiki) Hard to tell if that's safari or an ancient version of the official mobile app though. If the latter that might be the issue


kwead

oh yeah since wikipedia is so old they probably dont use bootstrap at all. just a little observation about website backwards compatibility. nice username btw! also OP, if you want to check out some older sites compatible with your browser, check out http://wiby.org/


WestSlavGreg

And fuck apple for that, so what if the op is using an ancient system, good on them if they are happy, i'd be as well when using it as a browsing device. Reduce waste, never buy apple


Late-Ninja5

or the they can use another browser


tooclosetocall82

Not on iOS you can’t. They all skin Safari. Wikipedia has an app though which may work better.


Late-Ninja5

really, not even chrome? damn, I learned something new today

Apple requires* all browser apps to use the device bundled Webkit engine. \* Except for EU devices running iOS 17.4 or later, or iPadOS 18 or later.


Amaskingrey

Sorry, they took my handwriting as example for the font


Lucas198019801980

people at r/legacyjailbreak will help you


peterpansdiary

Just use desktop page view.


hyperblaster

See if your device supports a current version of Chrome or Firefox. If not, there App Store usually gives you the option to the install the last final still compatible with your device. I still have an iPad mini 2 that I still use for various projects.


junovicz

How do you find the latest compatible app? When I go to the app store in my tablet it only shows not available to install


hyperblaster

It seems that this method don’t always work. This article suggests using your Purchase History on your profile to download apps. This includes free apps such as Chrome and Firefox. https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-download-older-versions-of-apps-on-older-iphone/


junovicz

I see, thanks, so a workaround is to "purchase" chrome or firefox on the browser and then look up your purchase history on your device. Might try someday.


Eggslaws

Try a different browser?

Oh that's just Zalgo trying to contact you from behind the wall.

How do you write on a keyboard in arabic


bearfucker_jerome

Same as you do in English


zaiats

you press the buttons with your fingers


Mental-Complaint-883

But do they have letters that fit on the keyboard? Isn’t there like a 1000


mxx12221

You're thinking of chinese. Arabic has 28 letters. And yes, full on arabic keyboards with no roman literals exist, but they're rare, since modern day internet and life often require you to use them.


zaiats

Mental-Complaint-883

So can you get an Arabic gaming keyboard?


zaiats
