Center Pages

Align pages to the center of your screen.

What is Center Pages?
'Center Pages' is a Chrome extension useful for wide screen users to re-align web content for a comfortable reading experience. It adds adjustable margins and aids in centering pages that extend across the width of the screen or align too close to the edge. It's an open-source software with its source code accessible for users. However, it may not work for all pages owing to extension API limitations. The latest versions remember margin settings and offer alignment buttons for more control over page positioning.

Summary

Description

If you use a wide screen you may have encountered websites with long endless lines across the whole width of your screen or websites which align to the very left side of your screen so close to the border that it hurts. For such websites you can use Center-Pages. Center-Pages simply adds a margin to the sides, which you can increase/decrease via two buttons.

Open Source

Center-Pages is Open-Source Software. The source code can be found at: https://github.com/feluxe/Center-Pages

Known Issues

The extension API does not allow for a clean implementation of this feature. Center-Pages is able to narrow down a lot of pages, but it doesn't work for all.

New in version 1.2.1
