User reviews
Users appreciate the extension's ability to independently control zoom on different tabs with custom zoom levels beyond Chrome's default. It's praised for ease of use and accessibility support. However, common complaints include loss of zoom settings after page reload, a small and unclear UI for zoom input, occasional website compatibility issues, and the need for manual setup adjustments for file URL access. Developer responsiveness and feature richness are noted positively.
Pros
- Allows independent zoom control for each tab or page, which is not possible with Chrome's default zoom.
- Supports custom zoom levels, including increments not available in Chrome's default settings (e.g., 105%, 108%).
- Easy to use with straightforward functionality beneficial for accessibility and viewing fine details.
- The developer actively monitors user feedback and provides solutions or updates accordingly.
- Features rich customization options, including different zoom settings per monitor and per URL, enhancing user experience.
Cons
- Does not maintain the zoom level after page refresh; zoom resets to default.
- User interface elements for setting zoom levels are small, obscure, and lack clear indicators, making manual input cumbersome.
- Some issues with specific websites (e.g., zhihu.com crash and automatic refresh) causing instability.
- Initial setup requires users to enable access to file URLs manually for file:/// pages, which is not clearly documented in the extension description.
- Occasional problems with accessing extension settings, requiring reinstallation or restarting the browser to resolve.

Marcos Lopes, 2025-04-01I 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.
