Zooming in Google Chrome using the mouse wheel?

On Windows and, if I'm not mistaken, on Linux, it's possible to zoom in and out in Google Chrome using the mouse wheel. However, this doesn't seem to be working on Mac OS X.

Does anybody know if this feature can be enabled? Or is there any alternative solution (plugin, script, etc.)?

Solution 1:

You can pinch to zoom, which will simulate Command ⌘+ and Command ⌘-

You can also try the extension, which was mentioned by in Danijel's answer.

Otherwise, you can hold down Control ^ and the screen will zoom in and out. It ends up looking like this though (which I don't think you want):

Solution 2:

Using this extension from taharactrl I was able to zoom with ctrl+mouse wheel on all websites.

OSX El Capitan + Chrome 47

Note : after installing the extension, for it to work on existing opened tabs you have to reload them.
