Personally I find column-style layout to be more difficult on the web. Though probably just due to lack of familiarity.

As one example, the "Golf with your Friends" subreddit always throws me for a loop due to its use of columns. I have no idea how to read it!

Note this example will only work on a widescreen desktop browser.

Just a quick note: It works on none widescreen desktop browsers as well if you zoom out far enough. Or at least it does on my 14" with FF 106

Columns that you have to scroll like that is not user friendly, their height needs to be limited to less than the window height.
