Also on this topic, please stop letting css/viewport dictating weather I see a menu on the left or not.

I'd like to resize my browser window and put it at the side of my screen to use as a reference. Then I usually have to fight with zoom levels to get that menu to disappear!

Even Mozilla is an offender with their otherwise splendid MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document_Ob...

I disagree! When my viewport is larger, I have space for niceties like always-visible menus. When my viewport is smaller, I need what little space is available to be entirely dedicated to content, even if it means open menus takes an extra click.

I want websites to manage this tradeoff for me when I zoom or resize my browser window.

Both of you may be satisfied with a simple override switch-button. Yours will be always on, gp’s always off.

I was actually thinking after my comment... what if you could hold down e.g. shift while resizing the browser to resize the window without resizing the viewport reported to the website? So you could make the window narrower, then scroll horizontally so the menu is off-screen.

I move a window past the screen partially when needed. But it doesn’t work well at two-display border. Another real option is to find a container div and pin its width via stylebot.

Some sites are comically bad, either needlessly hiding their menu or turning it into a one-column tower that looks ridiculous at full viewport width (half my laptop screen). It took me embarrassingly long to discover the cause of the problem; I’d thought it was just a horrible trend in contrived minimalist design.

I’m tempted to start a gallery a la Plain Text Offenders or js;dr.

But it doesn't fit when its small?
