Apologies. I’ll try to work on the sizing. One thing, in the mean time, is hold down the *Ctrl* key, while using your scroll wheel on your mouse to adjust the scaling on most browsers. You can then drag something around to view. Once you’re done, hold down the *Ctrl* key again, and use the scroll wheel to return everything back to normal. Works great for viewing hard to read web pages, etc.

Appreciate the tip! Few things make me feel as old as when I’m trying to see small text on the computer.

Good tip.

One slight bug: In order to know if you have returned to precisely the same scaling you usually use (100%, in my case), you’ll have to go into your browser settings menu (at least in IE.) Or count mouse wheel detents in both directions. Of course (at least in IE) the setting menu gets one directly to the zoom function as a % if one prefers that, such as for printing consistent size screen shots of whatever. (Say, a utility bill with really light print in some spots that one wishes to darken in something like IrfanView B4 printing it.)
