My screen's a rather ordinary 1920 by 1080.

When people start playing with fancy layout, you find more
compatibility issues between slightly different browsers than plainer
pages.  Never mind authors who bodge things with out-of-spec code and
think its fine because it doesn't happen to break in their own browser.

Fancy pages often look at various browser supplied variables, window
size, screen size, amongst many others.  They may try sending
differently coded pages.

One thing that messes lots of pages up for me is webbrowser page zoom,
magnification, or font re-sizing (three different things).  Bump it up
just a little bit, and I often get overlapping content, and malplaced
content.

Trying to make one page look fine in a computer browser and a mobile
phone browser (in landscape and portrait) is a right pain.  Mobile
browsers like to shrink things, and normal font-sized text often
becomes fly-speck sized, you need to put in conditional overrides to
compensate.  Else, if you simply try doing a simple make all text
slightly larger, for everything, you can get the opposite problem with
everything else gets huge-sized text.
