Scroll Zoom

Zoom web pages with the left or right mouse button and the scroll wheel.

Download

Scroll Zoom is a versatile browser extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by allowing you to zoom web pages easily. By holding either the left or right mouse button (configurable) and using the scroll wheel, you can quickly adjust zoom levels without relying on keyboard shortcuts or browser menus.

The extension offers full customization of mouse gestures and zoom increments, giving you precise control over how you interact with web content. While it doesn't function on certain browser-specific pages like the Chrome Web Store or internal tabs due to platform restrictions, it supports zooming on saved web pages when enabled through "Allow access to file URLs" in the extension settings.

Scroll Zoom is actively maintained and available not only for Chrome but also for Edge and Firefox browsers. For bug reports or feature requests, users are encouraged to visit the project's GitHub repository. Supporters can contribute to continued development via Patreon, making this tool both user-friendly and community-supported.

自分の使ってるマウスジェスチャ（ストロッカーズプラス）と干渉して使えないのだが、この機能はほんと助かるフリーソフトのかざぐるマウスにもこの機能があってFirefoxではお世話になってます

Plugin would be perfect if it were possible to assign a stepwise increase or reduction instead of the zoom levels.
