Is there a way to force a maximum width for all web sites at the browser level? For my eeePC

tweakmonkey · 03-25-2008, 05:08 PM

I've had to rely heavily on my eeePC this week because I'm helping a friend with his web site while I'm out of ton. I never intended to do this with the notebook, but it came up and I'm forced to 'deal'. My problem is that when using random forums via google searches for fixing problems, they're all set for like 1024x768 or so resolution and my width is only 800 pixels... meaning I have to scroll horizontally for every sentence.

I'm just hoping to limit the horizontal width of pages... I know there are various firefox extensions to change CSS on the fly. Maybe I could just code something up to force all body tags to be 800 wide or something. =/

Opera has a fit to width option you should try out.

Oh yeah, I forgot all about this feature. CTRL-F11 does it too. Now if only I can set it to default.
