When rotating from portrait to landscape, the default zoom level is a little janky and forces the user to manually zoom out so the page is coherent.

I know that forcing a max-scale solves the problem but not sure if you guys are philosophically against restricting the user from zooming the page. It's always been my style because if you've designed the page right the user shouldn't need to zoom in on anything.

Use:
meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0"
instead of:
meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"
