Is it better to use ems/rems than px for font-size?
10.1.2020
The answer used to be absolutely yes because, if you used px units, you prevented the text from being resized by the user at all.
But browser zoom is the default method for making everything bigger (including text) these days and it works great even if you use px.
But... Kathleen McMahon really...
