Overview
Disable zooming by default. Re-enable zooming on a per-tab basis by clicking the Zoom Block icon.
Zoom Block disables zooming in Chrome by default preventing unwanted or accidental zooming. Zooming can be re-enable on a per-tab basis by clicking the Zoom Block icon. FAQ: Q: What permissions does Zoom Block require? A: Zoom Block does not require any permissions. Through careful handling of errors, Zoom Block is able to operate without access to any sensitive information. Q: Does Zoom Block use analytics? A: No. Zoom Block respects its users' privacy. No network requests of any kind are ever made. Q: Can Zoom Block "lock" a custom zoom level? A: The browser extension API does not offer an elegant way to accomplish this. The best option is to change the browser's default zoom level. Chrome's default zoom settings can be found in Settings -> Appearance -> Page Zoom. Zoom Block will then prevent modifications to the set level. Q: Why does Zoom Block's icon sometimes turn gray? A: Some browsers do not allow extensions to modify certain pages (typically internal or settings pages). Zoom Block is therefore unable to prevent zooming on those pages, and the icon will turn gray to indicate such a situation. Q: I found a bug! Where can I submit a report? A: Please open an issue on GitHub (https://github.com/warnellw/Zoom-Block/issues) with a detailed description. Pull requests welcome! License: Zoom Block is licensed under GPLv3.

I definitely like that zooming is disabled in Chrome by default. I have been plagued by "random and inopportune" zooming, especially when I use any of my laptops, each having a track pad between me and the keys. I'm sure that I'm the cause the zooming and have been wanting to disable zooming for a long time. 1) After installation, the icon didn't show up on the toolbar as shown in the description. After some hunting, I ended up at the extension settings and saw it was on, but it wasn't s... Show more
