I upped the font size on my Pixel recently and this is one of those sites where (in Firefox) the sidebar takes up more than 50% of the width of the screen and retains tiny text while the article itself wraps on a couple words per line.


In the sprit of the article, "grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

Mentioning these things in a comment is neither accepting of how it is nor changing it. You can't change the site - the author died. You can change your browser or reading mode or whatever. Or you can just accept it is the way it is.


1. Invest in your senses

I see you noticing a thing, with your senses. Sincerely:

A (used) folding phone offers 66% body content, 33% sidebar. Is a noticeable improvement.


I just use the reader mode built into my browser. 100% content.

I don't want large phone though. I'd prefer to have a less appealling small phone that encourages me to spend more time off it.


Maybe things have changed since I was an Android dev in 2013, but I buy Pixel devices because I don't expect something to work well on most Android devices if it doesn't work well on a Pixel.

I'm willing to switch between Chrome and Firefox. On Chrome I get 66% body content I can't read. It's one of the reasons I stopped using Chrome.


You're right. I've used reader mode(the paper in the url bar in Firefox) to solve this.


Reader mode works. Just tested on Firefox on a pixel...


"Accept everything"
