Reviews of izoom:
Great work, but font size in this extention is so small, can you auto zoom it?
disables audio sliders on pages
So-so app that takes a TON of tweaks before it makes SOME webpages display text or images the best way your vision & system dictates. In fact, it seems to run best if left OFF on certain sites, like Gmail inbox screens. If you opt to try it, set your sights very low for performance ROI on effort and time invested.
Looking to word wrap so I can read articles with current text size. All this does I can find, is zoom out til the text fits (but the font size zooms out so small you can't read it.
Doesn't work.
works fantastic in portrait view on my Chromebook
Works OK on some pages On others it zooms in way too much, I can't see half of the content and I can't override the zoomlevel
Seems to work well on some pages but then totally overzooms on others. I wish the extension button showed the current zoom level & allowed you to manually override it in certain circumstances but it doesn't. Will have to uninstall.
Doesn't work
on a smaller screen, the zoom will be very low and the text will be hard to read. But there's really no other option unless you want to move around stuff on the web page (which can make some websites inoperable).
Does the Job. It Automatically Zooms webpages to fit your Monitor. You can quickly Disable it when you don't need it. Whitelist might make this Extension even better.
So awesome! I run my computer at 4k so webpages often show up with TINY text in a small area of the page. This extension has saved me from having to manually zoom in. Thank you!
doesn't work
Doesn't work. Might be the extra monitor. Might be something else. Just don't know, or tbh care.
Works pretty great on my 28" screen using a custom max zoom setting of 150%.
does not work. cant zoom out the page.
zooms in way too much on too many sites to be able to compensate adding exceptions.
Does not handle multiple monitor setups very well (or at all). I consistently get zoomed in much to far and hove horizontal scroll bars.
First of all, thank you for making a quality extension and sharing it with the world for free. This would be one of my favorite extensions if there was an option to only apply zoom to pages as I choose. Most webpages I visit do not need to zoom, so auto zooming turns out to be an annoyance. But if I could auto zoom just by pushing a button, that would be great!
This is very nice Extension.
breaks YouTube with excess zoom
nice
Seems to entirely disable manual zoom adustment. Needs addition of +-/fullscreen buttons on the toolbar button.
It is good on paper, but in reality it is not a good implementation. Some items that are scaled up do not work correctly with mouse positioning.
very useful, especially if you use a larger text than the system default. I would get alot of websites overflow & I'd have to scroll horizontally to view them. With iZoom, it forces the text to wrap within the viewable browser window! Only 4 stars because it also resizes some of the menus of other chrome extensions, I'd give it 5 stars if I could get it to ignore extension menus.
Only really works on Macs. On Windows it's hit or miss, think Dwight Howard at the free throw line.
Very good, it can save your eyes!
Works fine, but I could not figure out how to put the Google Hangouts (within Gmail) to the exception list. That is very important for me. If I can make that work, then 5 starts, now it is just 3.
Isn't working
Excellent. Just what I was looking for.
fantastic, alternative to using iReader or programs to make the text easier to read. 4 stars because iZoom kicks in 1 second After visiting the website so there is a kind of lag and i hope it is improved. I use it on my Media PC connected to the TV and now my eyes dont get damaged squinting at tiny writing, Behold it automatically fills the screen with the webpage. Improvements: Faster Engine for Zoom Fix Compatibility with some MAJOR Websites like Microsoft, Google, and especially Ebay which goes all funny.
AWESOME! ITS LIKE IT KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT MY STRAINING EYES ARE YELLING INSIDE MY HEAD!!! VERY INTUIOTIVE APP< AND ACTUALLY A USEFUL APP (UNLIKE 90% of THESE APPS OUT HERE!).
just what I needed! it is very helpful and is working well with my ezLinkPreview extension!!
very cool!
This is incredible! It's only taken to 2013 (to my knowledge) to have such a simple thing work so well. Thank you so much for writing this. I've been looking for this for a long time.
Great, but with one (serious) problem: The current version of iZoom (0.9.4) breaks the official Facebook and Google+ extensions by zooming them out unnecessarily. Blanket blocking all Chrome extensions by adding "chrome-extension://(.*)" to the exceptions list does not help, nor does (right click menu)->iZoom->Exceptions->Add current page (or Add current host).
Works nicely when it works, but sometimes it does a very bad job - so it would be much better if clicking on the icon toggled it on or off, rather than the slower, more clicking and pointing required currently.
Unfortunately this extension does not automatically set the zoom level at every page load. Nonetheless a great idea. Regards
Works well half the time. Other times can royally screw up a page, but that is seldom. Othertimes you must refresh the page to make it work. I think it is the best one out there for just making a page fit to width. Which sadly doesn't say a lot about the extensions for chrome in this catagory. I am not a programmer, so I cannot comment on the difficulty of creating such a task and app. But so far none that I have used can do the "simple" task required. To just zoom everything to proportion.
It is perfect.
Installed this yesterday and it worked fine. Today it is not working any more :-O
