Window Zoom Extension

If you need to zoom all the tabs on a specific browser window, this is the extension for you.

The reason I created this extension is, I use multiple screens with different resolutions. Fractional Settings were using more GPU and causing other issues on my OS (using Linux).

I started zooming the windows I have on a specific screen. It was effecting other windows & tabs and adjusting this tab per tab was just wasting time.

I decided to create an extension where I can just set a zoom settings for a specific window and all the tabs within that window would be zoomed accordingly.

* If you move a tab from zoomed window, it will reset itself back to 100% zoom.
* If you add a tab from another, non-zoomed window to zoomed window, it will zoom automatically.
* Zoomed window & its tabs are not per-origin. Meaning if you visit the same site on another window, it will have your default zoom settings (usually 100% / no - zoom).
