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

Do you use tampermonkey or similar? There are scripts.

I've just installed them, but it won't help me at work, where they're blocked.

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.

Giving users a choice? It's not the XXth century anymore! :-DD

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

Buy an ultrawide screen, and have 2 browser side-by-side.
Or a super ultrawide, 32:9 and use it instead of 3 monitors.

Eeesh, who reads at maximum screen size?

Narrow columns are more readable; it's good design on their part.

(Related: surprised no one's complained that this forum renders poorly >2440px, at least on the default theme.  Perhaps there is some hope left after all?...)

I absolutely hate that style, it has been all the rage for close to a decade now. Text and graphics floating free in a sea of blinding white. A dimmer shaded background and some lines or shadows to break things up into logical groups makes everything so much easier on the eyes.
