How to enable zoom in Google Chrome (or Edge, or Opera, or anything Chromium)

[tamius-han]

1. Open extension settings
2. Click 'Advanced settings'
3. Uncheck 'Limit zoom' checkbox, like so, and click 'save settings' at the bottom:
   

You can now zoom as much as you want. For a very lucky few, this will work without a problem. Majority of people, however, will experience some problems as a result of removing that checkbox.

But now my videos get stretched incorrectly

That's a Chromium bug and no extension can do anything about it.

There's a few things that you can do about that:

• Use Firefox. While Firefox is the superior browser, some sites with overly strict DRM strategies (such as Netflix) provide Firefox with lower resolution streams than Chrome or Edge.

• You will need to start launching chrome with this parameter:
  --disable-direct-composition-video-overlays
  (Alternatively, head over to chrome://flags -> search for overlay→ try disabling some of those. Setting Select HW overlay strategies to 'none' sounds promising. If that doesn't work, then Enable overlay controls for Global Media Controls to none and Desktop PWA Window Controls Overlay to none sound promising — but I haven't had the chance to test those out yet)

• Disable hardware acceleration. This is not an option if you watch videos at modern resolutions (anything over 720p).
