i noticed that on my firefox the distance between the bottom of the website and the list for links(terms,about...) is really large, i cannot seem to figure out what to specify i
As promised, a complete overhaul of your code. Essentially I simplified your HTML a bit and fully recreated the CSS to make the page fully responsive without the use of @media queries or any external framework.
box-sizing: border-box
for all elementsExamples of
Tested both landscape and portrait layout
Update
Use of Unicode does not seem to work on Android (or with some workaround), added inline SVG as an alternative. Idea behind it: loading some JS which in turn loads a single icon seems a bit overkill (not to mention s l o w)... SVG works on Android!

html,body { box-sizing: border-box; width: 100%; max-width: 100% }
*::before,*::after, * { box-sizing: inherit }
/*
Above CSS defines ALL elements to use 'border-box'
Defining `box-sizing: border-box` will make calculation/manipulating element sizes
much easier as (usually) you would want to know the width/height of an element
including its inner spacing ('padding') and border.
=> element width/height = content width/height + padding + border
Default CSS is 'box-sizing: content-box'
=> element width/height = content width/height
'margin' is never part of an element width/height, so use sparsely!

Favouring 'mobile' only requires @media queries when you need
to override/modify CSS values for other (larger) devices.
- for the main design I used my Samsung J4+, 360x740
- and as large device my desktop display, 1920x1200
- smallest fit test 320x320 (Smartwatch? With a browser??? Okay...)
