Based on analytics of the website for my company, only 5% of users have a medium browser width.

Instead of designing for three screen sizes, it is easier to design for two and give tablets the mobile experience.

It is also the most challenging size to design for as you are restricted with horizontal space compared to the much more common desktop size.

When I'm using my tablet, I'd rather get the desktop layout. Because my tablet's screen is higher resolution than that of many laptops, and, even if the screen itself is physically smaller, I also hold it closer to my face, and, most of all, because layouts designed for phones just look bad on it.

I kind of wish my browser could just set a flag that CSS can see, so that I can decide for myself how much I like hamburger buttons and four words per line of text.
