Gah. I have to wonder who thought the ieee.org website design was a good idea. 2/3rds of the page taken up with not the article, but a whole bunch of noisy, visually intrusive links to everything and its mother? The article sort of squeezed in on the left 1/3rd seeming almost like an afterthought.

This is what it looks like on a 2560x1440 resolution monitor: https://i.imgur.com/08mYqWq.jpg Yes the small column on the left is the article.

You've both zoomed out in your browsers. Press CTRL+ a few times until you get back to 100%. Article takes up half the screen for me in Chrome+FF, 100%zoom @ 1440p.

It's not zoomed. That's how it appears by default in Safari. It's insane.

No I haven't. Standard 1080p display, multiple machines, multiple browsers (Safari, Firefox & Chrome.) On all I get the same thing, the article is taking up barely a third of the page.

To make it worse, those other three columns of links to other articles contain animated gifs, really dragging attention away from the actual content.
