Browser does not fit the screen on Windows 10 [QUICK FIX]

Users have reported that their browser software does not fit the screen on Windows 10 whenever they load the websites in a window half of the size of the monitor (split screen mode in Windows 10). This issue is getting even worse if you use a TV with high resolution as your computer monitor.

This issue is causing most (if not all) of the elements on the page with the issue to be displayed as being stacked on top of each other. This leaves an empty or white space in the area in which the elements of the site would usually be displayed.

For these reasons, in this article, we will explore the best way to deal with this issue. Read on to find out how to do it.

What to do if the browser doesn’t fit my screen?

1. Manually modify the zoom level of every web-page

1. In order to zoom in or out of the web-page you’re trying to work in, you can simply press the ‘Ctrl’ key on your keyboard, and the ‘+’ or ‘-‘ signs.
2. Another way to achieve this task is to hold the Ctrl key, and using the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out.

2. Try a different browser

If you keep having this issue, perhaps you should consider using a different browser. UR Browser is built on Chromium engine, and while it supports all the features and extensions that Chrome does, it doesn’t suffer from the same bugs.

In addition, UR Browser doesn’t store your personal information or tracking cookies, and with built-in VPN, your browsing sessions will be completely private and secure.
