Single Tab Zoom

Prevents zooming from being applied to an entire site.

What is Single Tab Zoom?

"Single Tab Zoom" is a Chrome extension that lets you control zoom at an individual tab level. It counters Chrome's default behavior where zoom settings apply to an entire site across all tabs. With Single Tab Zoom, your zoom preferences are saved on a tab-by-tab basis, giving you a more personalized browsing experience. You might need to remove any pre-existing site zoom settings at chrome://settings/contentExceptions#zoomlevels.

Currently breaks Google search. Searching something, selecting a link, then using the back button to go back to the search freezes the page until you go to another tab or refresh the page. Once that's fixed, 5 stars, but until then, I can't use it.

Absolutely over the moon. I somehow have independent site zoom on my laptop, maybe cuz its a mac using chrome? But on my windows 10 machine its a universal zoom that makes the zoom essentially worthless to me. Saw a few scummy extensions claiming to do exactly what this extension does without any need to configure anything, or even understand how it works. TLDR: Get this extension now, you wont regret it. No setup required. It works immediately!
