Wide GitHub: Enhance Your GitHub Page Viewing

'Wide GitHub' is a unique Chrome extension that transforms how you view GitHub pages by optimizing repository and gist pages for full width and dynamic sizing. It enhances readability by eliminating horizontal scrolling for long lines of code. It's incredibly useful for those with large or high-dpi monitors, enabling you to see more documentation at once. The size can be easily toggled to view size-dependent docs or wiki pages.

It worked wonderful until this morning. I suspect Github may have made changes on their side. Chrome Version 129.0.6668.70 (Official Build) (64-bit) - on Fedora Linux 40. I can confirm that the latest release - 1.66 fixed it!
