If only it was simple to configure my user agent to act as my agent and format things readably. I prefer moderate line widths. Even at half-screen on my 29" widescreen monitor, unformatted text is too wide.
- ryandrake 6y agoYes, this would be the best. Web site provides the content and the browser (user agent) decides how best to render it, potentially different than how the web developer would want it.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoAnd that was the original goal. Sadly, the marketing people won and turned the web into a glorified magazine delivery service. Remember when browsers supported user styles out of the box and put them in a somewhat discoverable location?
- SquareWheel 6y agoI remember users setting their default font sizes to 30px, then complaining when they hit the one piece of text on a website with an undefined text size. User-defined formatting hasn't worked since CSS was introduced.
- GoblinSlayer 6y agoWorks for me much better than CSS. HN sets font size to 10pt, any user setting is better than that.

- GoblinSlayer 6y agoLine width is approximately equal to browser window width, so you can adjust the line width by resizing the browser window.
