In my case it was nothing to do with the CSS at all. It seem'd that chromium had bugged out and thought the dev tools was still open at a certain width.

Only closing the tab and re-opening it worked.

Though this is a very old issue, I have personally run into this thread twice without being able to resolve this issue (I keep forgetting what I did to fix it). For future viewers (me included) where setting padding and margin to 0 didn't magically fix your problem try "position: fixed" in the body.

body {
  position: fixed;
  overflow-y: scroll;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  width: 100%;
}

Ok so this worked for me:

    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;

My padding on sections of 100% was adding the padding to the page width resulting in width 100% + (padding value * 2)

Might want to check if this might work, it did for my particular issue.

body {
    min-width: fit-content;
}

Added the answer of John Mcnulty as an paste because weblinks might go as 404. And this actually helped a bit to normalize the css without having browsers put their own css in it.

if you don't need responsive or fluid design(mentioned in other answers), final solution is to set minimum width for body.

set min-width on body to the most wide element width(in most cases - .container) and remove width and min-width form html element.

body {
    width:100%;        
    min-width:980px;
}

you must expect that you will lose customers when your design is non-responsive

set the max-width of your image using the percent, rather than pixel, rem, em, etc. 

.resizable-img {
    max-width: 100%;
 }

Ähm, your div.container has a width of 970px. And this breaks your body width because your layout isn't fluid. Use media queries or procentual widths will help a lot.

Maybe some clear:both; that are missing..

Up : It's probably not that, but maybe other sub-elements block width and does not allow the page to take its total width. If you have any float should think about making a clear before the footer (as I see a div on the right).

See your html / css code would be better :)

The issue persist only if you resized the Browser window. As its not breaking the website, You could leave that issue.

or

If you are creating a non-responsive site, You can do this simply by adding specific width to html and body. something like this

html, body {
  width:1170px;
}

you need to use CSS reset:

use this code:

body, html{
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
}

all element have some style in default you need to reset them.
