>I exclusively use one hand to browse, and I use double tap drag to zoom.
I also browse exclusively one handed, but not necessarily "one fingered". I grip my phone between my thumb and other three digits and use my index finger for any two finger gestures while my thumb is stationary. This allows me to pinch zoom with one hand. I do this because sites so frequently break one fingered gestures - not really "by choice" but "as a workaround".
Try doing the double tap zoom on the Reddit home page. You need to be highly selective of where you double tap, otherwise it treats it like a normal click and you're taken to a comments section, an article, or an external image/video. This is either a bug in Android's double tap timeout or with Reddit breaking the functionality. I can only double tap zoom if I'm very careful to tap in white space which effectively only exists after a title or between the "comments" and "..." (more options) items beneath each post.
>I've seen some pretty shocking broken scrolling, but modals that prevent scrolling (and have js errors which prevent closing) are usually the cause. I've never see a "pull to anything" gesture break scrolling what-so-ever.
I was frequently unable to scroll on Reddit mobile (not the app) because Reddit thinks I wanted to do a page refresh. It's enough of a problem that I simply didn't scroll back up anymore when browsing. It must have been a common enough issue because the gesture had been removed at some point.
