This is very not true. Hit Alt V Z T in Firefox, for example. It's even on WebAIM's accessibility checklist (https://webaim.org/resources/evalquickref/#scaling https://webaim.org/resources/evalquickref/#scaling), which makes it important: that list is very selective.
Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 has at least three different kinds of zoom, depending on which input device you use to trigger it. (Multiple types of zoom: good. None of the keyboard / mouse / touchpad bindings doing the same? Bad.)
- lelandfe 4y agoUh, sure. Sort of a pedantic side note, but yes: all browsers' default to a fancy page zoom these days. It's even more buried in Chrome. For good reason: using rems or ems in sizing values will cause "text only" zoom to do a good bit more than what's on the tin. WebAIM doesn't require it, and only recommends – which is more than I would say, at any rate. It's simply more trouble than it's worth.
