Why not resize the window to your preferred width? max-width would just waste most of the screen with whitespace, while a smaller window will let you put it where you want and work with other things in the rest of the space.

I have a pair of 27" monitors and almost never maximise windows - the exception is when working with very large images that need the full resolution.

I almost always maximize windows unless I'm doing something where I need to mentally integrate multiple applications. I'm certainly not going to fuck around with popping tabs out into individual windows and resizing them when casually consuming content. Either it's legible or I move on.
