Zoom Per Tab Extension

Chrome doesn't let you adjust the zooming of different tabs under the same domain independently? Well you found the cure!

I know there are a couple of similar extensions out there. At first, I wanted to just download one and save myself some time. I soon realized that existing extensions out there for this purpose are so bulky and complicated. Some of them even ask you to install a daemon process that's available on Windows only - this is real bad, and dangerous, but also real bad.

This extension simply makes page zoom settings independent across tabs, regardless of whether they have the same origin. It's ultra-lightweight. It uses a built-in Chrome API, just a few lines of code, no configuration needed at all!

You can unpack the extension to verify that it's not doing anything malicious. In fact I encourage everyone to read it because it's so simple. You could've written it yourself! A copy of the source code is at https://github.com/xinan/zoom-per-tab.

James P (ID: 0000000886a4a7e2) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/14/2023 This extension causes newer versions of chrome to freeze when going back a page. Pity, its a very useful extension and I use it extensively at work to zoom all my dashboards to the best fit for the page. Hopefully the developers can sort it.

Jordan Biserkov (ID: 00000003b71a5bbd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/17/2023 Extension works great! No permissions required. Does NOT, canNOT read your info. No native component. No viruses. Great job! Google, fix your browser. The author even showed his 3 lines of code on Github.

Aasemoon (ID: 0000004e418a25f2) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/19/2023 Could have been a great extension, except every time the page refreshes the zoom resets. Unfortunately makes it useless.
