Regarding your second question, I don't feel I should be responsible for fixing the formatting mistakes of other people's websites.
- lmm 5y ago> as one wide text lover to another: this is clearly beyond the bounds of good taste. I disagree. I like it as it is. Maybe a small amount of margin (HN-style) would help, but I certainly wouldn't want to see it introduce a maximum width. > Regarding your second question, I don't feel I should be responsible for fixing the formatting mistakes of other people's websites. I think websites should be created ready to be reflowed at the user's convenience - that's the whole point of using HTML over things like PDF. If the user wants a particular max-width, they should have their user agent apply it. Whereas if the website makes its own choice of max-width, it's virtually impossible for the user to "undo" that. (I did try setting "body max-width: undefined !important" in Stylish for a while, but that breaks too many pages)
