Remember zoom level
-
On certain pages, I zoom in quite a bit to see the writing easier and not squint my eyes.
For example, on Chrome if I go to a novel page and zoom in 125% if I close the page or even chrome it'll remember the zoom level and stay like that forever unless I change it.
On chrome, it saves the zoom level on the entire domain but It'd be really nice if we had the option to choose between specific pages and domains.
I wouldn't mind if we had it exactly like chrome since I use this feature a lot and I really miss it.

@Jiggly Have you played with this setting? Does it help at all?
-
Yes, I have and it doesn't do it.
-
I would really like to see this feature as well. I have a 4k screen and I use interface zoom to a certain point and this is nice because I can maximize screen real estate, but sometimes on certain website you want a 130% zoom for perfect window fit for things like say YouTube, but on other web pages you want a 150% zoom so you can read easier. If Vivaldi managed to save zoom levels based on domain then this would a very nice feature to have. I looked for an extension that does this and none exist.
-
@goddard Completely agree. A search for this issue brought me to this thread. Just wanted to chime in to say the ability to remember the zoom level for a domain would be greatly appreciated.

Save Open Tabs as a Session will also save the zoom level for each tab.
-
@pesala In other words, if I want to save a certain site to lets say '80% zoom' I would have to open an old saved session from when I happened to have visited that specific site and have changed the zoom level instead of just going to the site randomly when I want to and having the info already saved?
...how convenient...
I really hope there is an actual feature to save page settings via website here in the near future bc saving sessions just for preferred zoom levels seems a bit much.

@d3f4ult if you want this behaviour for all sites use the setting @steffie suggested.
@jiggly To sync up multiple pages a browser restart (where you lose tab zoom settings) is required.Suggestions for mixing both modes without confusing most users welcome.

@Steffie Worked for me on snapshot 2.4.1462.4 (Official Build) (64-bit) standalone. Thank you.

To anyone as confused as I was who might have been tempted to go back to your previous browser: "Use Tab Zoom" setting needs to be UN-checked to have it retain your zoom settings for each domain. It doesn't make it easy to figure out from the wording.

I have presbyopia and I need to read big letters so I use this style in Stylus, that is OK for the 95% of the sites:
p, p > b, * > p, * p, [class *= "text"] > p, p span, p > strong, section, article, li span, .entry-content, .post-entry { font-size: 36px !important; font-family: Lato !important; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility !important font-style: normal !important; font-weight: 400 !important; text-align: justify !important; line-height: 1.6 !important; float: none !important; margin-right: auto !important; margin-left: auto !important; border-right: 0px!important; border-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px!important; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;}
You can play with: font-size and line-height.
Compare this (http://crimebythebook.com/):
With that:
With this style you forget about using zoom for the entire page, and only have to use it when the internal style for the page has !important in the text. (a very few sites with bad internal CSS)
I use Lato font for all the web, because I have proved is the most comfortable to read (It is not in Windows but is free):

If you also use Dark Reader extension yours eyes will be in heaven.

Please can the devs add this feature already?
I've just switched from Chrome to Vivaldi and I don't wanna go back. -

The feature is added already. Go to Settings, Webpages, Default Webpage Zoom, and disable:
Use Tab Zoom -
Disabling the use tab zoom fixed it for websites but I'm still having this issue with the dev tools, when changing the zoom level of dev tools, closing and reopening completly resets it, in my screen the font size for dev tools is extremely small and having to focus dev tools and set the zoom again is daunting, specially when testing a website because it's common to close it and open it multiple times in a short time, can we please keep the zoom level in the dev tools too?
-
@shif That's a known problem with dev tools. A good deal of code still needs to be written for dev tools to be problem-free.
-
@Steffie Untick "Use Tab Zoom" works for me. For now Vivaldi each domain zoom level.
-
@steffie it's working...thanx
-
Not only the ambiguously named and described Use Tab Zoom option should be disabled, but the browser should be restarted after, then you can use zoom normally indeed.
