Wide screens are another idiocy and a problem in itself which has nothing to do with web design.
I miss 4:3.

You can say that again!!
The only reason I don't miss 4:3 is I USE 4:3 :)

The other cure for the wide screen blues is to have enough space so at least one monitor is in portrait mode. Makes reading datasheets and TLDR posts so mush easier :)
And of course, last but not least ,I almost never use maximized windows especially on a wide screen, unless watching video.
As for people that "need" to have a "clean" desktop" with only a single window or tab displaying at a time maximized, they make pills for that.

That's personal preference and was possible to achieve with the old website by resizing the window. See the attached screenshot, showing the old site in a window sized to give the same number of words per line as the new one, including the tab bar at the side as a bonus. There is no reason to bugger it up for everyone.

Is there a revolt? If so, I'm glad it's not just me!

Do you use tampermonkey or similar? There are scripts.

Just disable scripts ::)

This way it works better than the old version.
:-+ from me for this change.
