Even just focusing on the usability of zooming in a browser-- I wonder how much even the best Linux desktop environment (or even OSX) trails behind browsers. Off the top of my head:
* the obvious keybindings (even across browsers?) that are the same for tabs/windows regardless of the content inside them
* in FF the zoom percentage animates itself into existence when you go below or above 100%, then remains viewable and clickable to return to normal
* most of the popular web pages are designed for zooming so that text reflows in a readable manner when zoomed
* when zooming, fonts remain readable without the user fudging around with DPI or rendering settings that no mortal ought to understand
* zoom level and scroll position is remembered in case I click the back button
Well, the desktop doesn't even have a notion of the back button so I'd say we're already at least a few years ahead of the desktop.
