Do websites display more than text?
Do some sites contain really wide text that may need to be viewed on one line, like code?
Of course I've tried it. I've been on the internet longer than that design choice.
When my browser window is in an inconvenient shape or location, do you know what I do? I resize and move my browser window just like any other window.
There was a time in the past when some web designers would move your window to the middle of the page. That location makes it easy to read content. Does that mean users want the designers making that choice for them? No. And webpages don't do that anymore.
