While surfing the global Internet, one interesting detail related to the display of website pages could not escape the inquisitive gaze of an attentive user. The thing is that many resources are not displayed on the whole screen, but only on its central part, while two inactive areas on the sides are painted with a colored background or covered with wallpaper-picture. You might think that this is some kind of browser error, but when checking this display is saved in all programs for viewing pages. In addition, even the sites of many large companies often look that way - not full screen. In such circumstances, any user will want to learn how to zoom in on the page. Sometimes it seems that website developers seem to live in a different world and do not know that even a budget modern computer is purchased with a widescreen monitor with a diagonal of at least 20 inches. On laptops, the situation is similar - their screens have long become widescreen, albeit smaller.
The reason for this mapping of resources lies in outdated approaches to creating pages. It is believed that the site should be optimized for viewing in the resolution of 1024 by 768 pixels. This simplifies working with it on tablets and other portable devices. That’s how it’s so easy to explain. And users who do not want to spoil their eyes, reading the small letters and looking at the pictures under the microscope, have to learn how to change the page scale. Fortunately, all modern browsers support this feature, for which a separate "thank you" to their developers. The rest of the article deals with an increase, although all that has been said is also true of a decrease.
When you zoom in, all the elements of the page proportionally increase, so you can choose the best coefficient. How much to increase? It depends on the diagonal of the monitor, the features of using the application (in a window or full screen), the user's habits. Before answering the question of how to increase the page scale, we note two options for zooming. The first is an increase in everything, the entire page, but the second, more flexible, is an increase in textual information only. Typically, browsers let you choose how to zoom.
A universal and quick way to zoom in on a page implemented by all browsers is to use the mouse scroll wheel and the Ctrl button. A laptop or computer - it doesn’t matter, it works everywhere. Knowing him, there is no particular need to look for other solutions how to increase the page scale. Having opened the web page and holding the Ctrl button pressed on the keyboard, we rotate the mouse wheel in any direction. As a result, the scale changes. In this method, the rotation of the wheel can be replaced by pressing the buttons "+" and "-". You can return the default display by pressing the combination of Ctrl and zero (0).
If for some reason you can’t figure out how to zoom in on the page, then you can use the classic way - through the browser menu.
In Opera, you need to open the settings and select the “Web Pages” tab. Here you can set the scale as a percentage, and there is also an option to fit the width (say “No!” To horizontal scrolling).
In Firefox, in the View menu, you can zoom in or out. You can resize one text without images.
The famous Internet Explorer is configured in the "Page - Zoom" menu. Additionally, you can specify the desired coefficient yourself.
Google Chrome is constantly being improved, so you can’t predict exactly where the developers will decide to place the ability to change the scale. At the moment, you need to open the menu (image of a wrench) and select “scale”. Managing it is very simple: “+” to increase, and “-” to decrease. The icon next to it is full-screen mode (F11), in some cases a very useful feature.
