Many of us spend most of our screen time using a web browser. Why not enhance the browsing experience with some open source browser extensions? This time we’ll address the issue of content scaling, which seems to be a frequent complaint from high DPI screen users. Even if the UI fonts and other desktop elements scale up correctly, the content rendered by web browsers is a different story.
Instead of zooming in and out the entire web page manually, why not bring select images closer on demand? That’s what the Hover Zoom+ extension does. Hover the mouse over any image on a web site and the extension will enlarge the image to its full size, or make it even larger if you increase the scaling factor in the extension’s settings. The enlarged image will always fit the page view and never exceed it, therefore the actual scaling factor may be lower for already large images.
