I feel your rant, I really do.
You have no idea how disappointed I was after the Wikipedia redesign until I found the full width button in the bottom corner.
Most sites are optimized for mobile and are completely asinine looking on a monitor.
Especially text heavy sites where even a single sentence is broken into 2 or more lines, meanwhile 70% of the screen is empty.
And it’s not like it’s hard to implement a button like Wikipedia did, web designers just don’t give a crap.
I payed for a full monitor, let me use the full monitor!
I didn’t know about the button at the bottom, I ended up going into the settings and changing the theme back to the previous one.
I do like the more dynamic index, I may have to check that out. I’m not entirely opposed to new designs (much as I might removed about change), it just gets frustrating when things are designed for a specific subset of people with no options to tailor your own experience.
