Default Is there a browser that will have text reflow, like on HTC phones? Please advise!

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a third party browser that resizes text when you zoom? All of my HTC phones do this, and I LOVE this feature! Is this something that has to be in the framework, or is it just coded into the browser apps software on HTC? My Transformer Prime does it also, but only if you double tap after zooming in, which is even better in my opinion. I've always used the stock browser since ICS since it seems to work well, and the only third party browsers I've ever used are Chrome, over screen, and dolphin. I know there's a lot of other browsers out there, but I really don't want to download and try them all to track down this feature, if it even exists in a third party one?
Thank you to all of the Developers and all of those that may contribute in any way!
Thank someone, it's effortless...

It worked with dolphine hd perfectly. You would have loaded a non-mobile page, double tap on any text and it wouldve zoom in and reflow, but that was before i updated to ICS. Now it wont work anymore. Could also be because of the latest dolphine update. I already contact them and got a reply, then i sent them a video of this issue. It reflows the text already on loading the page, zoomed out. You can still zoom in by double tapping, but the scroll wont stick, so you also go left or right if you wanna just scroll down.

Try turning the feature on in the stock browser.

Besides the text flow...the brightness thing that is separate from the system brightness is retarded. On the video player also.

Could you clarify? I looked in Settings...Power Saving...and didn't see an option.

I also looked in the individual apps...and there wasn't a Power Savings menu. Only option to turn on or off the Automatic brightness.

Thanks.
