That's not really what is happening, though... There's certainly no
assumption going on.
The site simply uses conditional CSS to adjust the layout of the page as the
width gets smaller, which is what the media queries are for. For example my
own sites push sidebars to the bottom of the page, remove white space,
re-jig the navigation menus, and so on. NetSurf's windows are small enough
by default that a "mobile" page layout will often result as standard when
pages open, but that's things working as intended.
What doesn't work as expected is that the page would reflow as the size
changes on many other browsers, whereas NetSurf doesn't do that.
And many sites rely on Javascript to open and close the mobile navigation
menu, so as to save on space. To be honest, I have no problem with that.
