OVERVIEW
Zoom Page WE provides facilities to zoom a web page (either per-site or per-tab) using full-page zoom, text-only zoom and minimum font size. Automatic fit-to-width zoom can be applied instead of the default zoom level. Small images can be scaled to fit the browser window. Please see the 'Zoom Mode', 'Zoom Type' and 'Image Scaling' sections for more details.
Zoom Page WE is an alternative simpler no-restart version of the well established Zoom Page add-on.

There is an option to use a CSS Zoom engine instead of the browser's built-in zoom engine, which is particularly useful when using Chrome, since it avoids frequent zoom popups in the address bar.
