I have definitely noticed that i cannot fcking resize a browser window anymore.

I’m on a large 24” display running at 1920x1200 resolution.

If I resize a browser window to make it smaller (you know, so i can multitask) now the css think’s I’m on mobile and rearranges everything as if I was on a phone.

It’s just awful.

I always prefer a pair of portrait-mode browser windows, side by side, and it's amazing how many sites just assume that I must be on a phone and serve me a crippled version of the page.

So many things are made worse by people trying to be clever and only half-succeeding.

I hate the modern web so much.
