Chrome: any way to zoom a single page, not all pages in domain?
I often use Chrome's Cmd+ and Cmd- (Ctrl+ and Ctrl- on Windows) to zoom in and out on a web page. However, the new zoom level affects every tab showing a page from the same domain. Sometimes this is handy, but other times it's a big problem. Right now, I want to zoom a page containing a video on one tab, while continuing to read text at a normal size in another tab. Is there any method for controlling zoom independently of other tabs? For now I'm stuck using another two browsers.
Solution 1:
Just discovered that the issue linked by @Qtax in the comments above was marked "Wontfix" by the Chromium dev team a couple of years ago - they state that this behavior is by design, and they do not intent to provide per-page zoom. The extensions mentioned in other answers appear to be the only resolution for this issue.
Solution 2:
I have read once that it is one of Chrome's disadvantages. However, there is an extension that may help you, called zoomWheel. You can find it here.
Solution 3:
I was looking for this too and found an extension that's precisly for this. It's called Per Tab Zoom.
It lets you customize these 4 shortcuts:
Ctrl+Mouse wheel
Ctrl+Shift+Mouse wheel
Ctrl++/-
Ctrl+Shift++/-
For each one, you can choose what kind of zoom to perform, either per-tab zoom or per-domain zoom.
You can also disable some of the shortcuts if you don't want to use them.
