Solid
Was about to write a bad review saying "Doesn't work on Mac. No effect". But note that you need to re-load any tabs for this to work (Not restart whole browser, just refresh each page) With that, it works great!
Worked great the first day. Now when I scroll one step, it zooms down to 25% or up to 500% in that single step. Not useful...
