How to Change Chrome’s Default Zoom Settings

Google Chrome is one of the most popular web browsers available today, and it offers a wide range of customization options to make your browsing experience more enjoyable. One of these options is the ability to change the default zoom level of websites you visit.

This can be especially useful if you have trouble reading small text or if you prefer a larger (or smaller) view of web pages. This is also prevalent for some users that use a smaller screen device like a tablet to navigate the internet with the browser as sometimes the content is too big.

In this article, we’ll be primarily focusing on changing the zoom settings on a global level, meaning every website you visited and will be visited will have the same zoom level. Let’s get started!
