There is an addon that does this automatically.

Some pages load weird like a pop-up on mobile that should take over your view window is a side bar instead. Still fully functional but slightly harder to read.

But you know what makes it way harder to read? Ads

I've visited pages in Chrome without an ad blocker... Almost unusable, my eyes couldn't even focus on what I actually needed to do.

I'm not sure if it's better, or worse, than the cancer that was the dot come era. Pop-ups everywhere. Random fucking toolbars. So many toolbars. A clippy version of a titty dancer if you're unlucky.
