Quick Zoom Extension

Quick Zoom allows you to zoom into the page using your mouse wheel and holding down the Cmd key.

Similar to the Ctrl + mouse wheel on Windows, Quick Zoom brings this functionality to macOS.

Usage:
macOS
Hold down your Cmd key and scroll with your mouse to zoom in and out of the page.

Windows
Hold down the Windows key and scroll with your mouse to zoom in and out of the page. The browser also allows you to zoom by holding Ctrl and scrolling with your mouse wheel without this extension.

Scott H. Hawley (ID: 00000016ba5f4fea) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/04/2024 Was about to write a bad review saying "Doesn't work on Mac. No effect". But note that you need to re-load any tabs for this to work (Not restart whole browser, just refresh each page) With that, it works great!

Ryan Shanly (ID: 000000de2b460f34) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/05/2023 Thank you!!!! Haven't had a problem with testing on websites. Can't believe mac/browsers can't cater for macs CMD vs control button for shortcut zoom. Like another has said, need to exit all chrome windows/restart chrome for it to work. Ryan

Edward Tan (ID: 000000542277ce49) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/30/2023 Can't zoom in chrome via scroll wheel is one of the biggest issue I have with MacOS. This plug-in is god send. In the last 3 days of use, I haven't experienced any site that it doesn't work like other people suggested. Instead of giving lower review rating, I would recommand anyone leave a positive feedback to the author and also let him know in which site this plug-in does not work, so they can work on it.
