 It might -- but the "native" installed browser is Chrome/Chromium.

 The R-Pi OS is a customized version of Debian (10 currently) with a
highly customized desktop. However, you can either configure the desktop
font sizes -- the trade-off being that even with a 1920x1080 (HD TV)
display, it will act as if it were fit to a 1280x800 or so, meaning fewer
lines of text will be visible. OR -- you can search for Debian packages
that provide such magnifier features.
