Ask HN: What zoom level do you browse HN at?
8 points by Retr0id 8 months ago | hide | past | favorite | 7 comments
I browse most of the web at a default 100% zoom level.

But for HN I have it set to 133% - I find the default uncomfortable, on desktop at least.

I'm just curious, does anyone else do the same?



That depends on the used browser and installed fonts, and probably operating system too.

I'm using 150%, while the 24" screen is at arms length, and an additional full hand away. About 110 to 120cm, I guess?

My defaults are still at 100%, though I go to 110 or 120 more and more, sometimes 133 to 150, but that tends to cause reflow. It's mostly 'mobile first' crap, for ppl used to read from the equivalent of a cashiers strip. shrug

edit: With vertical tabs this looks very acceptable.


Same here, 133%. HN's design if from a time when people used 15", 1024x768 resolution


Right this second I have it at 200%, but I've been having some vision issues and will soon be having corrective surgery on both of my eyes. Hopefully once that is done, I won't need such a high zoom level (and/or reading glasses) anymore.


On desktop on 133% at the moment. Can tolerate 120%, but the default is too small of a text size for me.


I dunno.. but I pres CTRL + 5 times in Brave Browser


160% on 32'' 4K monitor.


150%-170% on desktop monitors.
