Zoom Text Only
-
OK, it's great that the new Vivaldi for Android (Version 5.7) has page zoom per site. Great feature. However, what I find lacking is the inability to only zoom the webpage's text size leaving images alone.
There should be an option in the zoom settings to only zoom the text, so that images can remain the same size.
Sometimes sites have really small text and large pictures, which ends up with the need to side scroll to see the whole picture.

This is my main issue with Vivaldi when reading webpages.

Hi, use the zoom feature from the menu, not scale with your fingers.
I have it in my custom menu on top.Cheers, mib
-
Thank you. It does scale the text to the screen, but does not increase the text size of the webpage.
-
@Beurtheret
Hm, I don't understand, this is zoom 150% -
@Beurtheret
AH, may you have to enable Show Zoom in Main Menu in Settings > Accessibility.
I am not sure if this is default enabled. -
I do use zoom from the menu. To keep the text within the margins of the screen, the zoom cannot exceed 86%.
-
The text size is not consistent through all websites. Some are large, others are a bit small for my vision.
-
@Beurtheret
Yes but Vivaldi remember your zoom setting for each page.
I have the feeling we're talking past each other. -
Usine nouvelle.com has big text, while Sputnikglobe.com tiny.
-
@Beurtheret
You can scale from 50 to 300%, this should work for most pages.
I guess it is all said, if you think something does not work correctly open a new thread about the issue.
This is off topic in a feature request. -
Yes, Vivaldi remember your zoom setting for each page. Yet for the http://sputnikglobe.com/ , the text doesn't appear to zoom text bigger within the margins of the screen.
-
Thank you. I appreciated your help.

@mib3berlin What new zoom feature? There is some new feature to reset zoom, but that's for snapshot. Can't see anything for Stable.
I've just tested it out on The Independent newspaper (https://www.independent.co.uk) and 9-to-5 Google (https://9to5google.com) and the results don't confirm that the image sizes stay the same (on 9-to-5 Google, the images get smaller if you increase text size!). So, still not fixed, despite using the Zoom function from the main menu.

What new zoom feature?
I see something new in this section:
-
we now have a list of scale values for all sites where we changed it. But unfortunately this is just a list for information, I can't edit a specific value in this list. But I can delete individually (i.e. reset to default). It remains to screw in the export and import of reservation values. Or do it with synchronization.
-
there is a flag for the so-called smart-zoom. When you turn it on, another slider appears. What is it and how will it work? Maybe it will be useful for us in working with text?
Alas, so far I haven't managed to make this function change something on the screen.

Hi, your request is 10 month old, I was not sure if zoom was even implemented at this time.
9-to-5 Google acts a bit strange above 150%.
The page does not look even correct at 100%
Vivaldi work much better on the Independent page than Opera.I can not even open https://9to5google.com/ in Opera, independent is strange too.
To be honest, I guess this feature will never work on all pages perfectly.
For me it work OK.Cheers, mib

Vivaldi work much better on the Independent page than Opera.Well, if you go down the page a bit, the images down there get larger when you increase the zoom. Admittedly it's not too bad with smaller zoom increases, but the more you increase zoom, the larger the images become.

I wouldn't know about Opera, since I haven't used that browser since Vivaldi first came out with preview builds, and I have no plans to ever use that browser again.
