сергей войновский (ID: 000000ba95469ded) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/08/2024 по крайней мере работае меняет размер

Lev Socolovscy (ID: 0000004e3995669e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/28/2023 Android, Kiwi browser. Размер шрифта не меняется, но зум работает. Зум выглядит лучше увеличения шрифта, так как увеличиваются все элементы интерфейса. Теперь можно комфортно читать форумы и древние сайты. Кстати, гугл видит изменение зума и не дает войти в аккаунт.

Mike Calvert (ID: 000000d73268235b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/28/2021 Well, it works for me. I only need it for GMail which seems very small text as my years advance. I used another till recently, just for GMail, but that added an icon to the actual page itself. And since I have just learnt how to customise GMail via its CSS, the previous utility could not be customised and looked horrible. This sits on the bar and is perfect. Thanks.
