Thanks for an interesting article.

Just one nit-pick. Content on this page is really hard to read on big screens. This one line of css fixes this.

body { margin-left: calc(50vw - 280px); }

That just centers the column. It'll only make a meaningful difference if you maximize your browser window.

There's little point maximizing a browser on a big screen so I don't. My portal into the web page is roughly square, about as wide as my screen is high, maybe a little bit wider - no more than 4:3 and probably closer to 5:4.

I use a left-aligned tab tree and and other apps, such as console terminals and my note taking app to the left of the browser, to use the space left over.

Wide screen display of mostly text content doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I have a 15" laptop screen and it was uncomfortable to read. Fortunately, reader mode worked.
