Here I thought you held down the control key and used the scroll wheel on your mouse to change the text size on your PC…

that’s browser zoom. it zooms in the page and changes more than just text. it zooms in images and everything. also can affect how pages look on other sites. text sizing just changes text size while keep the rest of the page elements normal.

of course page zoom works and feel free to use it if you need it. but it will display everything bigger than normal so it can be a bit distorting that way.

You are correct There is a browser or two that sets it per page though…(don’t ask how I know…probably because I’m half blind to start with… :sunglasses:)

it’s a useful feature for sure. i use it on an as needed per page basis. it’s easy to zoom in and out and you can see the - or + setting at the top in chrome as you’re zooming.

Firefox does per site - and remembers it. It’s really useful to me because o the variance in default type size site to site.
