Narrower

Add margins to wide pages.

What is Narrower?

"Narrower" is a Chrome extension that offers users an enhanced browsing experience by adding margins to wide websites. It features a margin slider that manipulates the padding value of the document element to narrow the website. The selected margin is stored in a cookie for swift retrieval during subsequent uses. Refresh the page or drag the slider back to 0% to revert the changes. However, it may not work perfectly with all webpages.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Narrower is a simple extension for dealing with annoyingly wide websites.

Usage:

To add margins to a wide page, click on the extension icon and drag the slider. The extension will continue narrowing the current page as long as you stay on the same website. To return the page to its previous state, drag the margin slider to 0% and refresh the page.

How it works:

When you drag the margin slider, Narrower changes the padding value of document.documentElement. It then leaves the selected margin in the website's localStorage, so it can be recalled the next time you activate the extension on the site.

Known issues:

Changing the padding of the document element doesn't work on 100% of the pages. If a page doesn't become narrower as a result of using the extension, you can always resort to manually changing the browser window size.
