User reviews

The Zoom on doubleclick Chrome extension is praised for providing a needed zoom feature similar to mobile devices, enhancing readability and accessibility for users. However, many users find that the zoom triggers interfere with normal double-click actions, causing accidental zoom and page break issues. Lack of customization options for activation (like using modifier keys) leads to frustration. Some report performance problems and unreliable behavior. Overall, while the feature is highly valued, users desire more controls and stability improvements to make the extension more practical and user-friendly.

Pros

Provides a much-needed zoom-on-doubleclick feature akin to mobile devices or MacOS, enhancing reading and navigation experience.
Easy to use and appreciated by users who want quick zoom functionality without zooming the whole page manually.
Some users find it improves accessibility by helping to read small text comfortably.
The extension is lightweight and replicates a mobile-like zoom feature on Windows and Chrome devices.
Users appreciate the concept and the developer's work, finding it great for everyday use and helpful for specific tasks like reading Wikipedia or using tablets.

Cons

Zoom triggers on any double click, which conflicts with normal double-click actions like selecting text or opening folders, causing frustration.
No option to customize the trigger action (e.g., use Ctrl + double click or disable zoom temporarily), leading to unwanted zoom and page breaks.
The extension sometimes causes the page to break or become sluggish after zooming, requiring page reloads.
It does not work reliably in all environments; some users report the zoom not triggering at all or being random.
Lacks configuration options such as changing the mouse button or number of clicks to activate zoom, limiting usability.
Some users find performance issues, especially when scrolling after zooming, and would like improvements and updates.

This is the feature i'm looking but not quite how it does. It's higly annoying when it zooms and breaks the page everytime you double click for other reasons. For instance when you use google drive. You normally double click to open a folder. I don't want to zoom the page at that point. I keep it disabled since the page breaks and needs to be reloaded when it accidently zooms after double click. I need something like ctrl + double click.

Finally! Thank you for this extension, was way too hard to find, you'd think it'd be a standard chromebook settings option but it's not. Thank youuuuus!
