I tried a bunch and suspect that this is the best/least worst - ok once you get used to it. It's handier than the clunky built-in chrome magnifier although it is a shame that development stopped IN 2016. The main fault is having to counter-intuitively move the wheel AWAY from yourself to zoom IN ffs. UPDATE The magnifying glass is blocked by Popupoff aggressive mode which I use to block pop-up videos. Zoom magnifier has improved a lot and is probably the best one now.
