I bought a large jewellers loupe for checking my plants, yet I swear I’ve used it more for reading tiny labels. Comes in handy, some texts are miniscule (one of my nutrient bottles’ instructions is as small as OP’s example).

Bring back Alta Vista!!

Yeah but that’s not as fun. Yarrr

I’m not sure if this will fulfill your needs entirely, or how you feel regarding piracy to obtain source material, however I’ve been running Jellyfin for a while with an overall good experience. Subtitles are found and automatically applied, and it’s rather snappy.
I use it to watch an episode or two when I’m at the gym.
