Center Pages Extension
If you use a wide screen you may have encountered websites with long endless lines across the whole width of your screen or websites which align to the very left side of your screen so close to the border that it hurts. For such websites you can use Center-Pages. Center-Pages simply adds a margin to the sides, which you can increase/decrease via two buttons.
## Open Source
Center-Pages is Open-Source Software. The source code can be found at: https://github.com/feluxe/Center-Pages
## Known Issues
The extension API does not allow for a clean implementation of this feature. Center-Pages is able to narrow down a lot of pages, but it doesn't work for all.
## New in version 1.2.1

* Cleanup UI.
## New in version 1.1.0
* Remember margin sizes: Center-Pages now remembers the margin sizes, so that you have to set them only once for each website.
