It works exactly as intended.

W10 and Chrome 118.0.5993.71 here.
At the landing page is where we adjust display scaling to have space to expand the instrument controls for them to  be entirely on one display.


You need understand the 3 websaver display modes and how to best use each.
Instrument landing page from where launch is made of full screen (projector mode) or instrument control (top right pop out tab) where full instrument control is available plus the additional virtual buttons which are added features for ease of use.


Most useful is the orange Screen Save which takes a screenshot just like the blue Print button but instead dumps it directly to the browsers Download folder. This is ideally suited to efficient documentation as a USB stick is no longer required.

Full screen projector mode. Esc to exit.

If it needs explaining then it's not a great design.

Do you need full HD screen width to use that? For a device which is 800x480 pixels?

And by that logic all scopes are garbage because they all come with manuals. 🤣🤣🤣

Seriously? I appreciate a good trolling, but none of the controls he showed on the extended section are on the screen of the actual scope, and the scope's resolution is irrelevant at that point.

I don't know many web pages that come with manuals.

If the screenshots posted are real then half of the controls would be outside the window on an awful lot of monitors/laptops.

Have you looked at how much wasted space there is in that UI?
TimFox:
Before I retired, corporate management wanted to improve our user interfaces (which were a bit old-fashioned) and recommended a good book on the topic:
"The Design of Everyday Things" by Don Norman (now in a revised edition from 2013, Basic Books or MIT Press).
One of his dicta was that "any telephone that needs instructions is a failed design".
Shortly thereafter, management had a new telephone system installed that required a 90 minute training session.
Of course, the big wheels were too busy to attend those sessions, so their secretaries had to transfer calls.
