Description from store
Narrower is a simple extension for dealing with annoyingly wide websites.
Usage:
To add margins to a wide page, click on the extension icon and drag the slider.
The extension will continue narrowing the current page as long as you stay on the same website.
To return the page to its previous state, drag the margin slider to 0% and refresh the page.
How it works:
When you drag the margin slider, Narrower changes the padding value of `document.documentElement`. It then leaves the selected margin in the website's localStorage, so it can be recalled the next time you activate the extension on the site.
Known issues:
Changing the padding of the document element doesn't work on 100% of the pages. If a page doesn't become narrower as a result of using the extension, you can always resort to manually changing the browser window size.

- (2023-03-17) Jessica S. (darkocean): Oh thank you, so many pages are stretched the hell out making articles hell to read, this saves so much eye strain. <3 I say Combine this one with darken text, zoon text only and your set to read :D Everyone has a wise monitor nowadays (except on mobile) so why are they still allowing the code to span the width of the screen? Quit it! A simple css edit is all it takes but noooo... Update: Works great as of 2023!
- (2023-01-01) Дмитрий Кулаков: Please add a feature to remember plugin settings for website!
- (2022-10-20) Lars Remsen: Another vote for some ability to save the narrower setting per website! For frequently viewed and refreshed pages, it is really annoying to have to continually reenable.
- (2022-06-06) Russell: Great but lacking the critical feature of automatically enabling the extension on specific websites.
- (2022-01-10) Michele Piecucci: Excellent extension. I convert ebooks to html and read them in the browser. This extension makes it easy to adjust the margins. Simple. 5 stars.
- (2021-12-03) Matej Beňo: Exactly what I was looking for
- (2021-10-18) Pat MySecret: Would be great if it worked in tandem with Reader View type programs. When narrow column widths are all over the place, this extension makes no difference.
- (2021-06-11) phly95 :: Edit: It would be nice if it could be set to a persistent mode and/or map to a keyboard shortcut, so you don't have to keep clicking it every time you click a link. I've been wanting an extension like this for a long time. It really helps reading html formatted ebooks. Works great in combination with "Line Height Adjuster" by caldwellkevin39 on the Chrome Web Store.

- (2020-12-31) George Troulis: AWESOME! This extension is a must-have, it works quite well with many ugly ascii sites that are silly and span the entire browser width
- (2020-11-26) Y.B.I. van Dillen: Absolutely love it! Simple and works great.
- (2020-09-01) Michał Matyas: The idea is great but it never persists the size of the window properly for me
- (2020-07-12) Artlan a: That is excellent, Solved my problems great! Every time I read wikipedia, the wide! wide! wide! margin makes me mad, appreciate to the author！！
- (2020-04-01) Michael Phillips: Exactly what I was looking for. You're a life saver.
- (2019-09-11) Emily Chen: This extension is so useful! It's just a simple feature but it makes such a difference when reading on the internet. Game changer :D
- (2019-04-14) oshibka zagruzki: Лещенко вперед!
- (2018-12-14) Fico Prieto: Works great. I use an ultrawide 21:9 monitor, and some pages show up all the way on the left. This plugin lets me fix that by centering the page with the quick press of a keyboard shortcut. It's also useful for articles that are centered, but too wide & uncomfortable to read. Narrower increases the margin symmetrically, allowing you to customize the text width to a comfortable level.

- (2018-05-31) Avin Lambrero: very useful, thanks!

- (2017-08-02) Matt Farrugia: Exactly what I needed, and works like a charm
- (2017-03-30) Alek Gruszczyński: Super simple, yet very useful. A must-have for people working with large/wide screens.
- (2017-01-11) Arthur the Unicorn: Thank you very much!
