set global default page zoom level
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=11321
Affirmative -- Zoom Extension works OK - *its not perfect* - as some pages
still won't
load at whatever default zoom level you choose (I have mine set to 200% due
to dual
30-inch LCD's) - but, its a HUGE IMPROVEMENT over what's available now in
Chrome 4.0;
which is no zoom-control memory at all! So, until this "feature" arrives
in ver 5.0
(based on prior thread) - the Zoom Extension will have to do for now.
Seems to work
well in a 64-bit environment too.

I have to say when it comes to me and other I spoke with , we all would
like to have
CHROME REMEMBER the larger font size for all sites when the browser is
started and we
dont want to tell it to make each new web page larger by having to to hit
CTRL ++
we just want the start the browser and have it do it if we set it up like
that in the
options, or whatever.

By the way, everyone, Chrome DOES remember the zoom factor for each domain
in the soon
upcoming Chrome ver. 5

"By the way, everyone, Chrome DOES remember the zoom factor for each domain

So your saying it will be for every page even if the page has never been
visited
before? So your saying it will be Global?

Comment #26 on issue 11321 by krtulmay: Allow user to set global default
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=11321
No, I am saying for every distinct DOMAIN. Chrome 5 will remember the same
zoom factor
for every page within the SAME DOMAIN, even if the page in the SAME DOMAIN
has never
been visited before.
No, this bug about global default page zoom level is still open. But at
least if you
zoom once on a domain and come back later, you won't have to zoom again.

To be perfectly clear, when I say domain, I mean every distinct hostname,
for example,
every distinct website.com, etc.

Please, for the love of all that's good and holy, give us a default,
remembered zoom
for all pages. I hate hitting CTRL + twice for every page I go to.

Having a global zoom function, which will remember the size I prefer ALL my
web pages
to displayed at is the *one and only* thing stopping me from switching from
Firefox.

Yes, Yes, Yes, please give us a universal zoom for all pages. It is
annoying to go to
a page and have to use my control/scroll wheel each time. Very frustrating.
But I love
Chrome, much better than IE or Mozilla Firefox.

Running chrome on a 26" high res and Ctrl ++ is the only thing that works
for me at
the moment. Universal default zoom would be so much easier.

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=11321
Google 5 beta remembers per-host zoom level. Sadly, this is almost as
annoying as
lack of any zoom remembering in Chrome 4. Wrong way to approach the problem.
What we need is really simplest thing of all, a global zoom level. This
needs to be
changeable in options, and default to system DPI - e.g. if someone has
Windows DPI
setting at 125%, the zoom would be 125% by default.
Remembering zoom level on per-page basis does not solve any problems,
because in many
web sites clicking a link takes you to another page, for which the zoom
level is
again reset to default. This is pretty much random, and depends on design
of the web
site.
To be honest, random resetting of zoom level drives me nuts even more than
consistent
resetting on every click.

Well, the good thing is in Chrome 5, remembering the zoom level is not
random nor per-
page, but remembered per-hostname. So there is usually no need to change
the zoom
level until you go to a page in another website.

I click on links to other websites all the time. What is so hard about
making a global
default zoom? I am adding another "me too" because I want to and because
the
developers don't seem to be getting the point. This is the one thing that
I hate about
Chrome.

Hi,
I need this as well.
I need to be able to save a default font size to large or I will have to
find a new
browser, Chrome is very fast but useless if you can`t see it. :-(

Krtulmay, it's as I said, because you don't know up front whether a link
will take
you to another domain or not, the user experience is that "randomly" the
zoom level
will reset itself to default.

This problem does not appear in Opera and since no one is getting this
problem
resolved in Chrome, I guess I'll carry on using Opera. Bye, Bye Chrome!

To everyone adding comments about how they want the issue fixed and
everyone else who
wants to add another comment saying the same:
1) Stop. This is not a posting board, this is a bug tracking system, you are
annoying/chasing away not just the developers (comment #46) but other
people who
starred the issue (this issue had more stars before). The ones who can
actually make
it happen are not lounging around, they are fixing other very important
bugs.
2) Read comment #38.
3) In case you aren't reading comment 38 yet, go read it now.
...
and just in case you didn't go read comment #38,
4) Star the issue, and if you really care a lot about this feature, ask
your friends
to star the issue.
5) If you don't wanna receive email updates on this issue, don't unstar the
issue, go
in Profile - Settings then uncheck "If I starred the issue"

Comment #52 on issue 11321 by stardan...@embarqmail.com: Allow user to set
@krtulmay: From your remarks, you seem unclear on the concept. A
universal "zoom"
setting that will be used for each and every page, each and every time that
Chrome
displays a web page is certainly a good feature. However, the underlying
issue has
not been "fixed", and that is, it would be much, much better if we could
use a
configuration option to specify a font(s) and point size to be used for
text for each
and every page, each and every time that Chrome displays a web page.
In my experience, "zooming" text is not reliable. What you really must do
is "zoom"
the entire content of the page, including all images. Doing that often
renders the
entire page as an image. But that ordinarily eliminates the ability to
search it for
specific words or phrases, or to highlight any of it to copy to the Windows
clipboard. Such consequences are not acceptable, although just enlarging
only the
text "optically" often makes a mess and even renders some text unreadable.
You can avoid those issues simply by allowing the user to configure the
font(s) and
point size(s) which the -> rendering engine <- will use to present the page
by
default, perhaps with an option to allow pages to specify their own fonts
and point
sizes.
@theblackbunny: explain what you mean by "starring" an issue. I don't
know anything

Comment #54 on issue 11321 by cyril.auboin: Allow user to set global
@stardan (comment 52): allowing the user to configure its fonts and point
size
completely breaks the page layout so it is only useful for accessibility in
extreme
cases.
It can't replace the right feature = choose a default full page zoom like
in Opera,
Firefox, IE.
For high dpi screens it is very important to have a default full page zoom

I left Firefox for Google Chrome but the inability to set a default font
size to
something other than 8 pt. (or less?) has me ready to abandon this even
though it loads
so much faster and has less junk problems than Firefox (viruses etc).
Please please
please fix this! It affects EVERY page and the Ctrl ++ gets really old,
really fast.

Chrome default font size is too small to read for large monitor
Firefox has an extension called "Default full zoom level", which is very
fully for monitor
with large resolution, it can set the default zoom level and allow to zoom
for text only

I'm not an apple fanboy, but I admire Steve Job's refusal to subject
customers to a
substandard user interface. It shouldn't require sixty comments and six
months to get
this problem fixed.
