- minikites 10y agoI don't disagree, but your web browser doesn't need to fill your entire screen.

- Filligree 10y agoIt, um, only fills two-thirds. That's a compromise. Too many sites don't deal well with thin browsers, but I need space for my terminals. This width usually works, although I sometimes have to do a bit of horizontal scrolling to get the article fully visible. (As opposed to the sadly inevitable sidebars.) Margins are good, though.
- milesrout 10y agoMy browser fills however much of my screen dwm tells it to fill.
- zeveb 10y agoYou're free to narrow your browser window — that's what I used to do, before all web sites decided that they know better than I do what width their text should be.
- collinmanderson 10y agoAgreed. body{max-width:640px;margin:auto} The extra 33 bytes won't slow things down (unless you somehow hit the next ~1kb packet boundary) line-height 1.5; would also make it more readable.
- Filligree 10y ago640px would be a problem — that's approximately 15em on my screen. I don't think that unit is supposed to be about hardware pixels, but... Well, that's how it seems to be implemented anyway. Ems usually do better.
