Add margins to wide pages.

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.
To return the page to it's previous state, either drag the margin slider to 0%, or 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 a cookie, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
