Skinny: Limit the Width of Web Pages

Skinny is a Chrome extension that lets you limit the width of any web page for better readability on high-resolution monitors. With just a click, you can instantly narrow the page, ensuring comfortable reading on websites like Wikipedia. It adds vertical bars that are draggable to change the width. The extension keeps track of 'skinny' pages, except for those visited in incognito mode. If you encounter any issues, the developer is ready to address them.

Great little extension, too bad it's not on firefox. Is the source code available somewhere so I could port it?

Does the opposite of this exist? I want to force news articles to take text lines to full width instead of fixed.
