It's good to have the occasional reminder that the letterboxing modern websites use is not, in fact, a total waste of screen real estate.

  I suspect displays were a good deal narrower in 1996, ha ha.

    My display is less than 3” wide. That’s far smaller than my first 10” crt let alone the 17” I had in 1996

      I should have specified resolution, not size, ha ha.

  Ironically it reads perfectly fine on my mobile phone. The text flows edge to edge with a comfortable width--there's no zooming or panning or frustration like many modern websites viewed on mobile devices today.

    You must have a larger phone than I do…

  You can just resize the window, you know.

    This. The vast majority of my windows are not maximised, since my monitors are large enough.

  This is when I'm glad that pressing F9 to invoke reader mode in Firefox still exists. Try it!
