    Only showing the most common values means that sizes of non-maximized windows are lost in the noise. It would be nice to see a cumulative size distribution that would show the percentage of viewport widths smaller than x, for various values of x. Then a developer could easily see that if they make the content e.g. 900 pixels wide, what percent of users will have to scroll the viewport left/right.

    yeah the 1920 by 920 finding matches what I keep hitting browser chrome quietly eats the height and layouts built for 1080 start clipping

      Exactly. Taskbars and browser chrome quietly eat 150px, which is why we now keep CTAs above 900px.

      I mean, with modern CSS you can build good experiences very well. Responsive is not easy but also not impossible.
