The amount of padding in modern websites drives up the wall. The idea that I bought a 24" monitor just so I can read text in fullscreen is ridiculous.

One trick I often use is to have the window take half (or less) of the screen and spoof my browser to be Chrome on Android Kit Kat. I just wish there was a change to have a different browser spoofed per tab, or maybe a "whitelist" of websites that are designed well enough that I won't pretend I'm on a phone.



Added your ideas to my notes file.
