Cold Hard Honest Opinion on Lichess v2

I'm just going to let out what needs to be said:
While the graphics and software are great, the SIZING IS TERRIBLE!!
*****Site looks great and all, but all the sizes of stuff have been thrown off, and hate to say it, but the version of lichess BEFORE this was BETTER.*****
I can adjust the BOARD size, but then the BARS around it are TOO LARGE for the board
If I do ctrl+(-) to ZOOM OUT, while it FIXES the middle, the online friends and top bar APPEAR VERY TINY.
The CHAT bar is also VERY LARGE for the TINY font that shows up in messages.
Why is the BOARD EDITOR SO TINY, but the ANALYSIS BOARD SO LARGE??
@ALL OF THOSE SAYING "USE THE CONTROL MINUS FEATURE", you SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT, IT SHOULD ALREADY BE SIZED LIKE THAT BY DEFAULT!!!
The CLOCKS ARE SO FREAKING LARGE!!! What are we using here, BIG BEN??!!
The LOBBY is as disproportionate AS CHESS SKILL TO ICE CREAM CONSUMED

Not that I hate it and won't continue using lichess, but this new layout is kind of giving me a headache to look at, as it seems like the lichess software wants to extend my computer screen A MILE in every direction. I'm LEGIT at 50% just to avoid a migraine, which I SHOULDN'T GET FROM A GAMING WEBSITE! I don't enjoy complaining, but the only way to improve sites is through cold hard honesty. =/

The truth hurts,
Puredication
Go ahead and post anything I missed below here, I know I couldn't cover it all in one forum post..
It can't be sized perfectly for every monitor by default. There is no limit to the different monitor types and resolutions.

You only have to set it up once. After that the settings will be remembered and used the next times you use lichess.
I dont know if it looks different for you, but it's honestly fine for me even at 100%.

The scrollbar on the side is a bit annoying but tolerable.
I love how nobody has mentioned the Big Ben and Ice Cream references.
