zoom level is not remembered

[fabricedesre]

STR:

• go to eg. http://www.nytimes.com/
• click on an article
• zoom in
• go back to http://www.nytimes.com/ using [<]
• go forward to the article using [>]

Expected:
The article is always zoomed in.

Observed:
The zoom factor is reset at every page load.

I haven't checked but it seems that Firefox is doing a per-origin zoom factor which makes sense in general.

Zoom level seems to be remembered when all but the containing directory of a URI is the same. For example, navingating on google results pages the functionality works as expected.

On the imaginary page: "example.com/site/page1.html". If a link points to any other page within the "/site/" directory (excluding its subdirectories), the zoom level is kept, otherwise it resets.

My zoom isn't even remembered with the following steps:

• go to e.g. https://www.reddit.com/
• zoom in
• refresh

Expected:
Zoom level stays the same before and after refresh

Actual:
Zoom level resets to 100% after refresh

I'll add to this and say that on subsequent zoom ins (after the page zoom has been "forgotten") using command/control plus, command/control minus, you'll get it relative to the previous zoom level.

I'll write this in sequence, assuming that every command/control plus adds 10% to the zoom level:

1. Page load, zoom 100%
2. Press command/control plus, zoom level goes to 110%
3. Command/control R, page refreshes, is back at 100%
4. Press command/control plus, zoom level goes to 120%

So it would seem that the zoom level is just not reapplied on page load, but it is remembered.

Dealbreaking issue for me

Also, I'd expect zoom level to be remembered across tabs for the same (sub-)domain. e.g.

1. Open https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues
2. Zoom in/out (pressing ctrl +/-)
3. Open an issue in a new tab with Ctrl+click

Expected: New tab to be same zoom level as tab in step 1
Actual: New tab has default zoom level

Also:
4. Open a different issue in a new tab with Ctrl+click (from tab in step 1)

Expected: New tab to be same zoom level as tab in step 1
Actual: New tab has default zoom level

Finally:

1. Open https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues
2. Open 2 new issues in 2 new tabs with Ctrl+click
3. Zoom in/out on the first issue (pressing ctrl +/-)

Expected: All 3 tabs to match the zoom level of the zoomed out tab.
Actual: Other 2 tabs have default zoom level
