It's funny, I use Firefox on my phone and both of the examples ("normal" and "balanced") look exactly the same to me[1], with the line break between "savvy" and "businesses", but I gather from the text that they're not supposed to look the same. I get that the article is talking about blink browsers but it's also assuming that everyone has one. I suppose they should have put an image there instead of having the browser render it.

The image you linked to is displaying correctly. Its the large headline that is wrapped differently, not the small body text.

You're looking at the wrong part, the article refers to the title, where the widowed word is "working" on the bottom example

The difference is in the headline, not the body text.
