Description

Right-click a column of text so zoom, or tap Shift and click, then press +/-/0 to adjust the font size. Esc unzooms.

Right-click a column of text and pick "Zoom" to make it take up the whole width of the screen just like double tap zooming of the mobile Safari. Esc unzooms.

Or you can tap Shift then click a column of text to zoom in on it, and/or press +/-/0 to adjust the font size. If you tap Shift accidentally, cancel zooming by tapping it again (or pressing any other key).

This extension works best for text-heavy sites: news, blogs, and so forth. It won't zoom all content correctly, and it's disabled for some sites like GMail and Hotmail where it doesn't work. Like all extensions, it's disabled on this site, too. And it's experimental: it could cause you problems.

If the keyboard shortcuts interfere with a webpage, you can disable them on a page by pressing ` (the backquote key, underneath Escape on some keyboards).

Note: This extension was originally developed by another author. I loved this extension but it was not maintained any more and it was not worked on recent version of chrome. So I decided to fix it for latest chrome. I really appreciate original authors' efforts.

It would be even better if users could be allowed to define their own zoom boxes. This does not rely on automatic recognition of the enlarged area of the webpage, and allows the user to select the enlarged area. 如果能够允许用户自己划定放大框就更好了。这样不依赖于自动识别网页的放大区域,由用户选定放大区域。

It is great but it has some undesirable behavior and it has no way to fix, it sets all the font size in youtube to a smaller font.
