Part of the problem, for my use, is the banner which is fixed and won't
scroll out of the way, eating up screen real estate instead of showing
the information I am looking for.  I've gotten rather quick with editing
via the browser's Inspect Element function in other contexts, it can be
used here too.  However, it would be better if the page were designed
with more usability in mind.

As for the information I was looking for, the web site's apparent
exclusive focus on just the Tor Browser is a big negative change for
those looking for Tor itself.

But about the problematic layout that now exists, in general, the CSS
media rule mixes all types of screens together regardless of
orientation, aspect ratio or size.  So mobile and multi-screen desktops
all fall under the 'all' or 'screen' values.
