Single long column, not adapting to size of browser window. What? You want multiple columns? That would require scrolling down, then up, then down, then up... I'll take one column, thank you. Also, the idea that you must fill the entire browser window with content is nonsense. The column width should allow for a comfortable reading rhythm. Too short and you break rhythm from changing lines constantly. Too long and it's difficult to find the next line. Most people seem to like 60-80 characters. Why screw that up by letting the browser width determine column width?
