New PineBook Pro - websites display wrong - vve1505 - 03-08-2020

On some sites - news sites in particular - the center frame is small and there is a lot of white space along both sides. Firefox and Chrome are not using the full page.

This is not a font size issue; nor is it related to any zoom functionality. It is that the browsers are displaying everything centered and not formatted to the full page.

Any ideas what will fix this. I'm sure it is a setting that I just cannot find.

Can you provide a screenshot?

If the website is displayed differently between Pinebook Pro and an Intel laptop then faking the user agent string might help.

Several web sites (including ones that should know better) secretly change the content they serve (to phone or tablet optimized content) when the observe an arm processor in the user agent string.
