I prefer that way, way more than going to, for example, Github and doing a code review and the website refusing to give me more columns to look at in side-by-side view, because they think that the number of lines they've enabled is perfect and want to have the sides of the screen be full of whitespace that you have to modify the layout of the website to get rid of. Or random blog sites that become a narrow column of text and a *huge* amount of whitespace on either side.

Browsers should have more say. In a perfect world, the web developer should not even need to know the browser's width or height, whether it's a phone or computer, or what kind of input devices are available. The developer should simply provide some kind of semantically tagged content (text and images), a list of suggested colors and fonts, and let the browser make the final call, based on what's best for the particular platform and screen size. Somehow we've gotten to this world where the web designer expects almost-pixel-perfect control over the layout of every little thing on the page, user's preference be damned. You're not laying out a magazine page in a desktop publishing application!
