what

joom is a chrome web browser extension that zooms in webpage as soon as it loads

why

  • some webpages have so much small font that really stresses upon eye
  • automatically zoom in upto 1.15x by default (change zval in zoom.js to your taste)
    • (this will be configurable option in later version of the extension)
  • get rid of ctrl plus or ctrl + mousewheel for zoom everytime a new page loads
  • read large texts clearly without eye-strain

how

  • clone or download this repo to your machine
  • unzip as the folder crx-joom-master
  • open up your Google chrome browser and type chrome://extensions/ at Address bar
    • or go to Chrome Settings > Extensions
  • check/select the Developer Mode checkbox on top
  • then click Load unpacked extension and browse file system and the select crx-joom-master folder recently unzipped

next?

  • add setting for default and website specific zoom level

shit

  • just visit chrome://extensions/ and remove it

changelog
