hover the edge
A faint rail waits at each side of every page. Rest your cursor on one; a fill runs while you decide — drift away and nothing happens.
i wish it was
wide more.
You bought all that glass, and most pages hand a third of it back in empty gutters. widemore is the free extension that takes the dead space back: hover the edge of your screen and the page you're reading grows to fill it. Hover again to undo.
try it — rest your cursor on a teal rail for a beat.
how it works
the page fills your glass
widemore finds the content column and zooms until it spans your window, probing the layout as it goes so nothing breaks.
hover again
Everything back the way it was. The zoom lives in that one tab and clears itself — nothing persists, nothing follows you around.
make it yours
Six presets and every setting behind them: color — or a colorless frosted-glass finish — size, width, shape, presence, patience, and placement. Turn on shy mode and the rails hide until your cursor comes looking. ⌥⇧W turns the whole thing off and on, and ⌥⇧F fits the page straight from the keyboard.
the fine print, which is short
