I think the user's own settings should be used, and they don't need to worry about that. If you want it wide or less wide, to resize the window. Many webpages use CSS and often I have to correct them by applying my own CSS on my side, but some webpages do not use CSS and they are usually OK without needing any CSS added. And yet, often just plain text is OK you do not even need HTML.
- joveian 8y agoNot all content is the same an it is annoying to keep resizing windows (which is why I use the ratpoison window manager). I wish it was easier for the user to indicate with preferences, but I'm not sure if there is a good way to do that right now. I agree plain text can be fine, but page width has also been an issue with plain text for a long time :/. Although 38 character width works well most of the time IMO.
- zzo38computer 8y agoThe user settings could have CSS by kind of element (such as <article> or <body>), or by CSS classes, or other attributes (such as ARIA), although stuff such as <article> isn't consistently applied anyways. If necessary, there should be some way to specify global CSS rules which are not applied to webpages that have their own CSS (either in the document or defined by the user).
- Shanerostad 8y agoThis is how I see things. As a user, I don't want to have to set custom specifications for my browser (especially since a lot of sites will break them). I just want a site to look good as a _baseline_, and then I can resize / adjust if I really need to.
