Quick Zoom

Enables browser zoom with Cmd + mouse wheel
Download Install Compare

Quick Zoom is a simple and efficient Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by enabling zoom functionality using the keyboard and mouse wheel. Specifically tailored for macOS users, Quick Zoom allows you to hold down the Cmd key and scroll your mouse wheel to zoom in and out of web pages seamlessly. This offers a functionality similar to the Windows Ctrl + mouse wheel zoom, bringing familiar and intuitive zoom controls to macOS browsers.

For Windows users, Quick Zoom supports zooming with the Windows key and mouse wheel, though native browser shortcuts like Ctrl + mouse wheel already provide this feature. The extension is lightweight and focuses purely on improving accessibility and ease of navigation for users who prefer keyboard and mouse interactions.

User reviews

Quick Zoom is praised for effectively enabling mouse wheel zooming in Chrome, particularly benefiting Mac users who struggle with native zoom shortcuts. Users find it simple and functional once they refresh pages or restart the browser. However, it has limitations such as inconsistent site compatibility, large zoom increments, and the need for manual refreshes to activate.
