Summary

Analyze keywords

The only text zoom extension that works!! Saves your zoom setting for each domain. Leave a ★★★★★ review with feature request.

Default Keyboard Shortcuts: Zoom in: Alt + = Zoom out: Alt + - Reset Zoom: Alt + 0

Known bugs:

There is a small delay from when the page loads to when it gets zoomed. Only way to fix this is for chrome devs to implement this functionality natively.
Some pages which use a lot of javascript to render parts of the page don't get the zoom applied (i.e. twitter.com)
The extension does not come with any sounds. If you hear sounds when changing the zoom level those are due to the system sound scheme. This video has information on how to turn it off.

The exension works well and I do find it useful. However, the 5 second long "Text zoom nnn%" overlay is too anoying and cannot be disabled. So I will be looking for the same zoom on other extensions. Removed from chrome.
