Just resize your browser window: it's not the site's job to guess how you want content displayed.
I loved browsing the web in the 90s: I had a half-width browser window on one side of my screen, an editor window in the upper quadrant of the other side and a console window the the lower quadrant. It was great! Then suddenly every website decided that I must have a full-width browser window, and was ludicrously narrow with a half-width browser. And they all stopped using and started abusing CSS. And then they all started using & abusing (but I repeat myself) JavaScript.
All I really want from the Web in 2018 is the experience I had in the 90s, and I can't get it any longer.
