I also have an original SE, and it's not only websites that renders strangely, also apps are sometimes unusable. I guess iOS developers forget to test in lower screen resolutions just as much as website developers.

Rather than forget, they may just have reprioritized. Or outright remove it from consideration. It's possible that users of much older phones don't spend enough for them to put time into it.
That's a fair point, but I wonder why the SE users aren't spending enough money/time in those apps ;)
Is it smaller than the 6S? Some websites that aren’t mobile are tiny on the display but otherwise it’s fine. I don’t use that many apps but never encountered that issue.
Would like to know because once my 6S doesn’t get updates anymore, I’ll probably switch to a SE.
Yes, it's smaller. But the original SE has the same innards as the 6S, so in all likelihood both will stop getting updates at the same time.
Kind of ironic considering that a sizable fraction of people using the new iPhone SE set it up so that the logical screen resolution matches that of the original iPhone SE (that is, they turn on Display Zoom).
