User reviews
I previously gave this extension a low rating because it did not work on my file:/// page, but the developer explained how to make it work. Unfortunately, I never saw his message because I don't get notifications whenever an extension developer replies to one of my reviews. I strongly feel that the extension description should be updated with the following information posted at the top. "To make this extension work with file:/// pages, go to chrome://extensions, click on 'Details' for the extension, and then toggle 'Allow access to file URLs' on." I was happy that I got this extension working on my file:/// website, but then I noticed something. Anytime I clicked on a link on my website, it would open the page at 100% zoom and then after a one second delay resize to my desired 95% zoom. I don't like this behavior. I don't want to see web pages zooming in or out anytime that I click on a link. Other than that, the following are some things I mentioned two months ago. The UI could be better. There is an input box where you can manually type zoom levels, but this input box is too tiny and obscure. The input box and current zoom level text needs to be bigger, it needs a border around it with rounded corners, it needs a blinking cursor inside of it if possible, and the up and down buttons inside the input box should be visible at all times if possible so people know that they can adjust the zoom level in increments of 1. At the very least, make the box and text bigger and add a border around it.

Great, but you should restart Chrome after installing this ext and setting it up for you. You also can set zoom change for each page separately.
