Gah. I have to wonder who thought the ieee.org website design was a good idea. 2/3rds of the page taken up with not the article, but a whole bunch of noisy, visually intrusive links to everything and its mother? The article sort of squeezed in on the left 1/3rd seeming almost like an afterthought.


This is what it looks like on a 2560x1440 resolution monitor: https://i.imgur.com/08mYqWq.jpg Yes the small column on the left is the article.


You've both zoomed out in your browsers. Press CTRL+ a few times until you get back to 100%. Article takes up half the screen for me in Chrome+FF, 100%zoom @ 1440p.


No I haven't. Standard 1080p display, multiple machines, multiple browsers (Safari, Firefox & Chrome.) On all I get the same thing, the article is taking up barely a third of the page.

To make it worse, those other three columns of links to other articles contain animated gifs, really dragging attention away from the actual content.


It's not zoomed. That's how it appears by default in Safari. It's insane.
