And have an ancient monitor.
You know, those old-fashioned TVs kind (aka, CRTs, cathode-ray tubes kind).
Or - maybe you have the new-fangled LCD/flat type.
In any event, I found Readability ---
A really cool Firefox Add-On that---with a click---removes extraneous stuff from pages, as well as making what you're reading easy to read. You can select various layouts, such as font type and size, etc. (So many sites have dinky fonts these days)....
The main advantage for me has been:
My small 15" monitor doesn't 'reach' to whole web pages.
(I often get a horizontal scrollbar and have to scroll left-and-right to read what all is there). With Readbility the text gets resized to a-perfect-fit.
So, no more scrolling (yay)!
With a recent update I've been able to read entire pages on this forum. (It used to be you had to click on each post---or---it would just display the OP (original post). The only caveat is: There aren't any 'lines' that separates posts. But I've not had trouble distinguishing them apart.
Anyways....
Now I don't have to get a new monitor (to get rid of that annoying scrollbar)!
Or, like, need to scroll from Philadelphia to San Francisco to read stuff!
Which is nice, coz I prefer CRT monitors over LCDs (lots easier on the eyes).
One more thing: I stuck the Readability click-it thing at the very top (beside 'Help').
Really convenient.
Btw, if you get this and like it, let me know by a bump-the-thread.
Thanks,
) -- but the NoSquint add-on is still sweet!
