I think that large, wide monitors are increasingly common, and I suspect many people simply run Emacs in full screen mode. It's generally easier to read text if it's restricted to 50-80 characters or so.[1] Compare to how many large web sites no longer use the full screen width, as was common when the web was young, but restrict it to a predetermined maximum width even on large monitors. I mean, ideally I suppose we would pick that out from the CSS, but that sounds very hard to do. So, at least to my mind, changing the default of shr-width to 80 might be the next best thing. > But it would make sense to point users to shr variables, too, when they > are customising eww. Yes, this would be good. Best regards, Stefan Kangas Footnotes: [1] https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/13724/recommended-column-width-for-text-reading-digital-vs-printed
