Of course you could fix it manually like that, although it's nicer not to have to resize your browser for each page you visit.
It's not just a matter of aesthetics or personal preference, there are actually studies on the optimal length of lines for the human eye, generally around 10-12 words or 70-80 characters.
- barrkel 13y agoModern desktop screens are too wide for efficient reading in a browser. We're long past the point where it makes sense to maximize the window. My browser viewport is approximately square in shape, and occupies about 66% of the screen area. To the left I have my tab-treeview, and to the left of that, various other windows cascaded.

- fulafel 13y agoIt's not the pages fault though, unless it styled it max width. According to HTML zen the browser should present it nicely by default if you just feed it some text in p elements.
