## Description

Too Wide! is a handy Chrome extension designed to improve your reading experience on websites that use the full width of your screen, such as Wikipedia. Often, sites that don't optimize for wide displays can render content too stretched out, making it uncomfortable to read. 

This extension adds a contextual menu item (accessible via right-click) that lets you toggle the width of the current webpage's body to a more readable size, defaulting to 960 pixels. You can easily adjust this width in the extension's preferences to match your reading comfort. While Too Wide! is optimized for Wikipedia and related sites, it is also effective on many older websites not designed for modern wide screens. This simple tool enhances web readability and user comfort with quick width adjustments.
