#### Why is this better than the alternatives?

1. They all make the same mistake: Mess with CSS and make some things worse. Some add shadows, some add distracting hover effects, some move buttons too far away from the center.

2. At the new Twitter/X the class names are random and dynamic (e.g.: `.css-1dbjc4n` instead of `.my-class-name`). Extensions that depend on class names will break at any time.

This extension tricks Twitter/X to think the window is smaller, and Twitter/X adjusts everything by itself. We don't need to apply hacky styles, Twitter/X is already responsive by default.
