Ask HN: Alternative browser to chrome that have good zoom support?

2 pointsmamcx2 comments

I try to switch browser to Firefox, and suddenly discover that Firefox & Safari can't have a global zoom for all pages. I try the recomended extension for firefox (NoSquint Plus) and it can't stick to the global configuration I set.

I'm on OSX Sierra.

Open up Firefox and type 'about:config' into the urlbar. Accept the warning it gives you, then type 'layout.css.devPixelsPerPx' into the config page's search box. Double click on the devPixelsPerPx preference, and type in a value such as 1.5 or 2, then click OK. Now the whole browser will be zoomed by that factor.

Vivaldi Browser has a zoom bar in the main interface which is pretty nifty: http://prntscr.com/ktea6k

They do use the same chromium engine as Chrome if that is an issue for you.
