The problem is it's not 1994 anymore, monitors are no longer 800 pixels wide, so it looks like shit and is impossible to read. It's well accepted that 70-90ish characters per line is best for readability, and instead now on an average monitor unstyled HTML gives you like 250.

- oxalorg 6y agoI solve this problem using a bookmarklet [0] which automagically applies sane css to websites like these. It’s insane that it’s 2020 and some people still refuse to use CSS haha [0]: https://oxal.org/projects/sakura/bookmark https://oxal.org/projects/sakura/bookmark
- zokier 6y agoWhat is insane is that peoples user-agents do not format documents the way their users want.
- flukus 6y agoThey're getting better with reader modes, I just which they could remember what pages were in reader mode and be less picky about when it's available. Some default syntax highlighting would be nice too.
- naasking 6y agoI recommend the Just Read add-on. It does readable formatting for you and sometimes even removes paywalls popups.
