This change seems to have made its way upstream into Webkit (or perhaps went downstream to Chrome? Who knows, probably the former though). It's really nice to have the zoom setting preserved on visits rather than on tabs. I'm also fond of the two finger double tap on the trackpad to zoom into a narrow column of text on a website (I assume Chrome also supports this) which is my primary mode of reading a lot of websites.
- jannes 6y agoThe zoom level can be read by the website and used for fingerprinting, so some browsers see it as a privacy issue to preserve it across visits. Firefox supports both, but the default is to preserve it, I think.
- toyg 6y agoI’m pretty sure the default in FF is to preserve zoom level per-domain across sessions.
- pwdisswordfish0 6y agoWhat? Can the browser not just… not tell the website?
- jannes 6y agoIt is not that simple to block. There are numerous standardised JavaScript APIs that allow websites to measure the size of rendered text.
