Viewport is a size of the browser window where a site are displayed. It differ from screen size, because browser window can be smaller than a computer/mobile screen. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/UsingtheViewport/UsingtheViewport.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006509-SW19
