It seems to have some compatibility issues with going back a page (back button) where that page freezes and you can't properly interact with it.

The only bad part about this extension is that it doesn't allow you to set a default zoom for all websites. I use 90% font size in Chrome, this extension forces 100% font size unless I manually change every single website. I'm not sure why there's no way to put in a default zoom value. I even tried to alter the code myself but was unsuccessful. To the creator of this, PLEASE make the default zoom value be either the setting in Chrome, or able to be set!!
