User reviews

Users find the Zoom extension simple, effective, and easy to use for increasing font sizes on websites. It is praised for its straightforward interface and reliable functionality. However, multiple users report issues such as non-functionality in reading mode, inconsistent zoom accuracy, and lack of flexibility in zoom increments and per-page settings. Overall, while generally well-received, it has room for improvement in handling specific cases and customization options.

Effectively increases font sizes on websites.
Works well for general zooming purposes.

Cons

Doesn't work properly in reading mode or on specific pages.
Zoom increments could be more flexible, e.g., by tens instead of ones.
Some issues with zoom accuracy and inconsistent behavior across different sites.
Needs more specific size settings for individual pages rather than applying globally.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Zoom requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

Zoom has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
