In the days of 1024x768, I found turning my one screen over to 768x1024 was great for coding!
It's a bit problematic to run websites on a vertical 1080p display, since it seems that most websites default to around 1200 or 1280 wide, so you end up having to horizontally scroll. It's problematic.
IDK why it's so difficult to find 1920x1200 displays so I can put a new vertical display on my system.... It's literally the only reason I don't have a vertical display on my system right now.
Shouldn't zooming out a bit do the trick? Or does the text become too small?
The problem is that, at least in my experience, the zoom is set per site, so I'd have to set the zoom on every website.
Also I generally have browsers on multiple screens and drag tabs between them, so I'd be constantly zooming sites based on what screen they're on.
It's literally easier to simply buy a horizontally scrolling mouse and use that, than to fiddle with the zoom all the time.
