Make all pages look good in 150px viewports

All pages except bookmarks can now fit on your smartwatch without any
adjustments, so we can disable the auto-zoom-out-to-match-mobile
wizardry that watch browsers do (comparable to the
zoom-out-to-match-desktop stuff that early mobile browsers did).

Yay.

### Implementation clout
### Implemen&shy;tation clout {#implementation-clout}
Standards are a form of agreements made to ensure compatibility between implementations. Such agreements need to be agreed upon by the implementations themselves. When one implementation grows dominant, so too does its leverage in the decision-making process over shared standards. Too much dominance can create a monoculture in which the dominant implementation is the only implementation that conforms to the spec.

I don't think that Matrix is going to become a fully closed platform anytime soon; the blog post ["On Privacy versus Freedom"](https://matrix.org/blog/2020/01/02/on-privacy-versus-freedom/) seems to put it on the right side of the closed/open spectrum. Clients like [gomuks](https://github.com/tulir/gomuks) and [FluffyChat](https://fluffychat.im/) seem to keep up with Element well enough to serve as partial replacements.

No search engine is truly unbiased. Most engines' ranking algorithms incorporate a method similar to [PageRank](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank), which biases them towards sites with many backlinks. Search engines have to deal with unwanted results occupying the confusing overlap between SEO spam, shock content, and duplicate content. When this contents manipulation of ranking algos causes it to rank high, engines have to address it through manual action or algorithm refinement. Choosing to address it through either option, or choosing to leave it there for popular queries after receiving user reports, reflects bias. The best solution is to mix different ranking algorithms and indexes instead of using one engine for everything.
