Just wanted to confirm that this fix is only targeting Safari on iOS devices? We don't need to fix this on other browsers that iOS devices could be using?

That is also the case for the webviews in the app.

A good question that I'm not sure about. The effects of font: -apple-system-body seem to be poorly documented unfortunately.
Might be safe to assume it works the same across all devices, and if we're happy this change will effect iPads, then let's
