Browsers wrap lines automatically, so line width can be chosen by the reader, and even varied depending on the situation (the same applies to font, size, colours, etc.).
- coldtea 4y agoIdeally the reader should still not be bothered and sensible defaults should be applied (even if they are dynamic defaults). Not to mention that readers left to their own devices tend to chose stupid unoptimized color schemes and font sizes all the time, hurting their readability and lowering their reading times... (of course for disabled readers it makes sense to be able to set to whatever suits them, but those also need sensible defaults for their case, perhaps even more so than abled readers, as it can be more difficult to them to change configurations)

I think it's safe to assume most people capable of choosing "stupid unoptimized color schemes and font sizes" are also capable of iterating on their choice, or reverting to the better defaults, when they feel the reading experience of things they want to read worsens.
