User reviews
Users appreciate the extension's simplicity and per-domain zoom memory, making browsing comfortable especially on large screens. However, multiple reviews report issues with the magnifying glass feature not working, zoom centering problems, and platform compatibility problems. The add-on's interface and integration with Firefox's native zoom are sometimes problematic. Overall, it is functional for domain-specific zooming but has notable usability and feature shortcomings.
Pros
- Simple and user-friendly interface with basic zoom controls (+, -, 100%)
- Remembers zoom levels per domain, so when returning to a site, the chosen zoom level is retained
- Allows setting zoom levels individually for each domain
- Works well for large screens where default text size is too small
- Support is responsive and helpful
Cons
- Magnifying glass feature does not work or is broken in the current version
- Zoom is not always centered and tends to zoom into the left part of websites
- Does not work properly on all platforms (e.g., Android Firefox, Mac OS)
- Context menu and options page are poorly designed and hard to access
- Does not integrate well with Firefox's native zoom functionality
