Zoom in and out with the right mouse button and left click or wheel.

What is MouseZoom?

MouseZoom is a Chrome extension aimed at providing an interactive zooming experience. Utilizing the official Chrome Zoom-API, it allows users to efficiently zoom in and out using the combination of the right mouse button and the scroll wheel. Also included is the useful feature of right and left mouse button snap-zoom. No longer does adjusting your zoom levels have to be a tedious task. However, it must be noted that due to Chrome's limitations, the option to change the in-built zoom levels has been removed and an 'info bubble' is displayed while zooming instead to show the zoom level.

Summary

Analyze keywords

This is an extension for zooming with the right mouse button and the scroll wheel. Right mouse button + left mouse button snap-zoom functionality is also available.

*** FINALLY *** Chrome offers an official Zoom-API and starting with version 0.2.0, MouseZoom for Chrome is using it. Zooming should now be almost as enjoyable as on Firefox.

In case you're wondering: The "OSD", present in former versions of MouseZoom, has been removed. Instead, Chrome shows an "info bubble" that displays the current zoom level while zooming. Also, Chrome does not support changing the buit-in zoom-levels, so the option for changing those had to be removed as well.

I like this one. It's very convenient. Zooms properly and does not clutter the screen. It's weird how people expect it to work without a mouse. It's MouseZoom! It works with a mouse and does it very well.

Incredibly useful addon. Once you got used to it, you will no longer be able to use a browser without it.
