Okay, I know I know that 99.9% of humans own a mobile phone, and the percentage that own a computer is much lower, but I’ve always hated how websites (first noticed with Google Search and Facebook) stopped caring about rendering for desktops and just utilised 0.3% of the screen width. Half the internet is a skinny portrait mode on a landscape screen and has been for ages
So the 30 characters wide texts are a thing? And here i always thought that was a issue with one of my userstyles.
It’s skinny so that they can stuff the sides full of ads.
I have trouble reading across wide screens, though, is that just me?
If you don’t want to change the window size for whatever reason, I find that reader mode (F9) solves this problem pretty well.
On desktop you can change window sizes to what you want. Don’t like wide text? Use part of the screen. But the inverse is not true: if a site decides to stay skinny you can’t make it wide if that’s what you prefer.
This is why I miss square screens. And I miss proper UI/UX design which makes good use of screen real estate.
Omg, same, so same. But putting anything I need to read (like… anything in a browser usually) in a smaller window is fine. Librewolf letterboxing kinda does it for me.
