Can anyone please tell me where to find the auto fit Web pages setting? Constant scrolling in all directions is a major deal breaker for me and this phone will be back in the box and back in the store before my 14 day return is up. I do not know how anyone can use yhis phone if this setting is unavalible. Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks, but that does not work either.
I'll attach two screen shots to demonstrate. I don't know how anyone can use the browser this way. If you double tap a paragraph to zoom in it does not fit it to screen so it's readable. He'll I've got 10 yr old black berry's that will so this. And every android I've had has done this just fine. I left apple back in the day cause it would not render Web pages readable. Seems things have flip flopped. My wife's iPhone auto wraps perfectly.

Unfortunately, this is a KitKat problem and effects all devices. I agree that it's a major problem and so do lots of other people. Check out this link

I'm currently testing the latest version of Dolphin Browser which apparently uses an older webkit version to get around the issue. It does do text reflow. It just doesn't seem to do as good of a job. Better than nothing though.
