What’s new in version 1.8?
When a web page has lines of text that run the full width of the page, it can become hard to read on high resolution monitors. If you find yourself making your browser window smaller just so you can read Wikipedia comfortably, this is the extension for you!
Just click the Skinny icon to instantly make the page narrower. (The extensions doesn't change any pages until you click the button.)
Two vertical bars are added to the page, visible only on hover, that you can drag to change the width.
It will keep track of pages that you have set to be 'skinny', except any pages you visit in incognito mode.
If there's a site that's not behaving well with this extension let me know and I'll check it out.

Reviews of skinny:
By far my favorite extension of its kind. It's a shame this doesn't have more users. Also, it hasn't been updated in nearly 3 years, but still works perfectly, so I guess there's no real reason to update it. Highly recommend this extension for anyone who happens to come across this hidden gem.
unfortunatelly, this EXT doent work as expected. first there is no any bar visible on hover, but there is a constant visiable bar next to general scroll one. next, it doest fit the page properly, you need to zoom down the page to approx 40% to see the result of so called centering. not reccomended,
Finally overcomes the abysmal readability of sites like Wikipedia. Now I can rest happy, know that other out there can continue fighting over their subpar reading experience.
