You don't have max-width set on the text, so unless you have your browser window resized to very small size the paragraphs will span your whole screen.

Which places you, the reader, fully in control of the width of lines you prefer to see. Adjust your browser window width, or apply a user style sheet to tell your browser to format the text the way you want to see it formatted.

I see. I don't have a wide-screen monitor (still using an old tube type until it finally expires but it's taking a few decades, lol). I've wondered whether people actually like reading websites on wide-screen. Some do and some don't. What would you suggest for a max width?

You could also try zooming in. My apps don't expand to full width because of the video box but you can zoom.

I have the opposite problem. I typically have many browser windows open at the same time but only two screens, and many sites that I use are designed to assume that everyone has full-screen browsers.
