Comments on: Why I cannot switch to Google Chrome from FF3 http://joshua.remote-app.com/2008/09/05/why-i-cannot-switch-to-google-chrome-from-ff3/ My blog of programming, hobbies, and thoughts.

I noticed that IE 7 does the same sort of text and image zooming, which I now see doesn't happen well in Chrome. Fair enough. I'd think that that, plus the lack of plugins, are probably just signs of the tool still being in beta, right? There's certainly enough interest that it seems the latter at least should improve shortly. Anyway, again, not meaning to sound defensive, nor be assertive. I don't "have a dog in this hunt", as they say. Sorry for the confusion of my last note. Sorry, I was focused on was "All other browsers including Google Chrome have not mastered this piece yet."

Checkout the screenshots. I meant the zoom didn’t work the same way it does in FF 3, not that it doesn’t work at all. Checkout the screenshots.

I didn't mean to say "all Chrome". that was a remnant of an edit, where I started to say "all 3 browsers" before deciding to reword it. I meant just "Chrome" in that sentence.) (Sorry.

Not a fanatic of any browser, myself. Just a pragmatic user of all 3. :-) Joshua, I just want to point out that while zoom via the mousewheel may not work (I don’t know, I don’t use a mouse), I can point out that all Chrome does support zooming via hotkeys the same way as IE 7 (at least) and FF 2+: ctrl + zooms in, ctrl – zooms out, and ctrl 0 resets to the default zoom level.
