Content is not simple text in this case. My site is designed for visual arts and experimental literature, including poetry.

My point is that if it is built out in HTML - it should work on any device that can render HTML.

Many other art-based, photography focused and creative writing projects work fine in my browser. You seem to just be avoiding the removal of bad UX patterns (fixed elements) for personal reasons - which is fine.

But you shouldn’t hint towards the fact that it’s “how things are” and they “can’t be fixed”. You’re hurting user experience for personal preference - not limitations.
