Smart zoom Extension

Right-click a column of text and pick \"Zoom\" to make it take up the whole width of the screen just like double tap zooming of the mobile Safari. Esc unzooms.

Or you can tap Shift then click a column of text to zoom in on it, and/or press +/-/0 to adjust the font size. If you tap Shift accidentally, cancel zooming by tapping it again (or pressing any other key).

This extension works best for text-heavy sites: news, blogs, and so forth. It won't zoom all content correctly, and it's disabled for some sites like GMail and Hotmail where it doesn't work. Like all extensions, it's disabled on this site, too. And it's experimental: it could cause you problems.

If the keyboard shortcuts interfere with a webpage, you can disable them on a page by pressing ` (the backquote key, underneath Escape on some keyboards).

Note: This extension was originally developed by another author. I loved this extension but it was not maintained any more and it was not worked on recent version of chrome. So I decided to fix it for latest chrome. I really appreciate original authors' efforts.

Alucard Hellsing (ID: 000000aa9e9ee20b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/27/2023 It is great but it has some undesirable behavior and it has no way to fix, it sets all the font size in youtube to a smaller font.

Kamil Palczewski (ID: 0000004b7b4b5ee6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/13/2022 I haven't found better extension to do smart zoom. Why isn't this more popular?!?!?!?! Thank you, developer! :heart:

Chris Coleman (ID: 000000bc604d163c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/10/2022 Hi Sae Yuki. Thank you for developing this. The feature I miss most on my mac is 2-finger tap to zoom to content width. I just started developing this extension, but you had already done it. Thank you!

Rami Refaat Amin (ID: 000000b5da8e7766) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/30/2021 Great, but we need option to disable in some sites because some shortcuts work in both, and we need free select area to focus on video.
