Oh, with the frames full-width?  It didn't even occur to me that anybody
would do something like that.  :-)

Is that a thing people do?  I mean...  why?  That'll leave a lot of
unused screen real estate for most things Emacs displays.

But, yes, rendering web pages very wide is usually not good for
readability, but...  if a person has decided to have full-width frames,
doesn't that also mean that that person likes to have really long lines?
