Anyone who's worked with BYU English Corpora knows that the website is... quite special. One of the quirks of the site is that the main container does not scale with your window's size. This means that you could be working on a 4K screen while getting the same content shown to you as on a screen with a resolution four times smaller. Inevitably, this means you get scrollbars even though your screen is plenty wide.
To solve this, I wrote a userscript a long time ago, and it still works. BYU English Corpora makes heavy use of iframes (shudder), the size of which is determined via the cols attribute. My userscript sets the main frame's width to 70% of the screen width, which means it scales perfectly for all display sizes.
Example
Before
Horizontal scrollbars appear, even though there is ample room to display all KWIC lines.
After
The horizontal scrollbars are gone. Every corpus example now fits on a single line.
