Are you using a maximized browser on a 24&quot; monitor?<p>That&#x27;s not what I do, because it doesn&#x27;t make sense. Text that takes up the entire width of the monitor is either in an unreadably long line, or in unpleasantly large text. There&#x27;s only so much margin you can handle on either side of the text before it just looks silly. And I don&#x27;t think multi-column is the way sites should or are going - it interacts poorly with scrolling.<p>Thus I don&#x27;t use maximized browser windows on big monitors. I use tree-style tabs, which uses a bunch of horizontal browser space much more productively than big margins, and I cascade my browser window with other windows so I can easily switch windows using the lower left corner of each window. With it occupying the rightmost and tallest position in the cascade, it is further reduced in horizontal size.<p>tl;dr: Web browsing, being primarily a text medium, doesn&#x27;t scale up to wider and wider monitors. So don&#x27;t make the window so wide.
