Feels a bit silly to resize a 20-tab browser window because one site failed to have proper content width. I'm very happy with having a 1920px maximized browser window. I don't like having non-maximized windows (in windows), it's just clumsy without a good layout system. You can have windows snapped at half width but I also want content centered on the screen.

So no: failing to set max width on a web page is not a good way to just present a clean page of information rather than an experience. It's just a bad webpage.

You are spending 100s of seconds reading a webpage, so spending 1 second to resize the text width to your liking is a very small overhead.

For a longform page it may be worth doing for readability, but the whole idea of fiddling with the borders of my browser window (which is shared between all the tabs) back and forth as I switch tabs is silly.

Or you can resize the screen of your phone with your fingers?

And constantly pan left and right? Pass.

I think he was being facetious (pointing out that "resize your browser window" isn't really an option on most mobile devices).

That's a terrible idea, because most of the other tabs I have open in my browser fit just fine with the size I have the window at.
