You think I'm going to resize my browser window narrower every time I switch to HN, and resize it wider every time I switch to a different tab?
Or you could just put it in a separate window of the desired width; maybe then you'd even have enough space on your huge monitor to see several sites all at once!
As I wrote the post above, I had about a dozen different windows open, all of varying sizes. Monitors have gotten much bigger, yet the users seem to have gotten worse at making good use of that space.
Why the heck would I want to put HN in a separate window instead of with the rest of my tabs? I only want one browser window, I'm not going to change my workflow to accomodate a single badly designed site, nor should I have to.
(Nor do I have a huge monitor, I'm on a laptop...)
