All browsers have a simple access to the zoom settings to enlarge or decrease the size of the characters or images on the websites. In general, to change the zoom on any web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and others) just hold down the CTRL key on the keyboard and then move the mouse wheel up and down.
Who has no vision problems, almost never needs to use the zoom controls of web browsers.
However, the fact remains that, depending on the monitor used and the site you are going to open, you can find an ideal zoom setting to look at the photos on the screen and to read text on a page .
The problem sometimes occurs on netbooks with HD displays and also other large screens of 22 inches and above, when the resolution of the computer screen magnifies the text too much.
In some cases, it even happens that the images overlap the text.
Then there are those who prefer to use all the screen space to let us enter as many things as possible vertically and those who want to take advantage of the horizontal space.
