Yes, and here's a URL that shows the issue much more clearly:

http://www.ebay.fr/itm/282432645955

I need to go down to 75% to get everything inside the window. Snapshots in incognito mode attached. I verified, the extensions I have enabled in incognito mode do not affect content layout.

Yes (with that latest version), and here's a URL that shows the issue much more clearly:

http://www.ebay.fr/itm/282432645955

The ebay page has a style of set on one of the parent divs. That is forcing the horizontal scrollbar.

    min-width: 1175px;
    max-width: 1200px;

This works exactly the same as in Firefox as well. Do you have specific CSS/HTML that demonstrates an issue? It appears that you are making a general claim that something is broken but in fact the websites you have provided are designed that way. Thanks!

Apologies but well, I'm not a webprogrammer so I can't know that kind of thing. I just notice that more and more websites don't fit that used to. It's not any browser's responsibility what site developers do (possibly simply letting their own local settings leak into their designs?). But I think a user-oriented browser can go to certain lengths to give users control over their experience. I remember that Opera used to have an easy control selecting between at least 2 rendering approaches that could be added to a tool/status bar.

What would happen with for instance that eBay page if you replace the min-width with the current window width? I tried myself but the only min-width I could find in the page html was 150px which clearly shouldn't be an issue.

R.

Chrome's approach for these things is that you should write an extension to do this twiddling with the page. There might be an extension that can do this for you I'm not sure.

The min-width on the ebay page is inside the CSS.

Great ...

Is that also why the option to impose my font preferences seems to have disappeared?

Yes there is an extension to do that. We don't want to add a bunch of features to Chrome that has limited audience (sorry but if you are forcing your layout or fonts then you are in that bucket); we want to keep Chrome simple, and lightweight.

Extensions add the ability to customize for users that want it.

Sorry but the second bit at least has been an astronomical failure since day 1... (BT and USB stuff in a web browser, really?)

The possibility to impose the fonts one has selected anyway (for those sites that are polite enough not to specify any) has existed in browsers since I started using them. It clearly was never a problem (and I'm pretty certain I've seen it in Chrome not that long ago).

As to simplicity: using a touch-device UI for the settings pages on a desktop computer is NOT making things simpler. For the user. But apparently the user is more and more the least of Chrome's concerns...
