From 2html.vim:

" fix browser inconsistencies (sometimes within the same browser) of different
" default font size for different elements
call append('.', '* { font-size: 1em; }')

I'm not sure exactly what that means or when it was introduced, but I can look into it. Perhaps there is a better way to accomplish this.

I can confirm that the font gets bigger in IE with that in (actually it makes it match Firefox and Chrome fairly closely). This is weird; in a monospace font 1em should already be the width of a character. Setting it to 100% or 1rem instead of 1em seems to do the same thing. Ugh...IE.

Why is the larger text a problem? I figured consistency across browsers would be a good thing, not a bad one...

It's a bug that an empty script tag is generated; apparently you don't have any options enabled that use javascript (dynamic folds, uncopyable regions, jumping to specific lines). Previously the line-jumping script was always added, now it has an option to remove it. Now that the option is there, the <script> tag should also be removed if there will be no content. I just created an issue for this:
