For some reason i'm noticing this happen on a ton of different platforms and I seriously don't like it. I didn't get a bigger phone screen so that devs could waste more space

But devs have unilaterally decided that bigger screens and more powerful hardware is for them to hog and not for you to do efficient/more things in the same time.

I really hope the next big competitive move in browsers is per site saving of zooming options, and automated tools to remove whitespace padding.

I would honestly pay good money for a browser that removed 95% of whitespace on most sites.

If you use Ctrl-+ to make the text larger, both FF and Chrome already remember how large you made it and use that size every time you visit that site from then on. What am I missing?
