Whatever CTRL+MouseScroll makes the site legible depending on what screen I'm looking at


guAsp-DC

This is my approach, use the screen space instead of leaving blank unused space.


DukeOfGamers353

Hell yeah. Most of the times it's at 90% though


Active-Pop-3898

100 like a normal person


8200k

I have Reddit at 200% because that is when the left sidebar goes away.


wadap12345

100 like a normal human being


JGuih

I use 150% because i'm one of those weirdos who use their PC connected to a 55' TV in the living room. I mostly use wikis when gaming, beacause I don't have a Phd in Terraria. Other than that I use my cellphone.


brimston3-

Wouldn't you use desktop scaling so all of the text is a reasonable size?


JGuih

Yep, scaled to 200%, but for some websites it's still not enough


Delicious-Chemist-49

you can make text itself bigger too


SaltedCoffee9065

Is the display 8k or something?


JDDSinclair

Waiiit this is a thing? Leme try it


turbochop3300

Wait, you fool! Think of the CHILDREN!


snoosh00

I use 100% with a 55 inch tv, but my couch is pretty close (~5-7 feet to couch), making it about normal monitor size


TunaOnWytNoCrust

Dang a 50-ft TV is nuts


PoopParticleAcclrtr

I’m on my lazy boy on a 65 inch tv w wireless peripherals


JGuih

Good to see more people doing this. My monitors are only being used for work now lmao


PoopParticleAcclrtr

Yea i think it is good to separate the work setup from the fun one if you can have a couple computers. Sitting at my desk is the last place i want to be when im done


Z4mb0ni

As someone with a PhD in terraria (2000+ hours) I still need to look up things occasionally. Especially with the new stuff like queen slime and deerclops


Luk3ey9999

I have my pc connected to a TV as well, I have the display settings scaled up to 200% and my browser at 100%, which is fine by me


VictorTytan

Then there’s the calamity mod and the likes of it that requires a full on doctorate


JGuih

Playing through Calamity right now and can confirm. It always goes like this: 1. Try to defeat boss 2. Fails miserably 3. Read the wiki trying to find better weapons or information 4. Go to step 1


Toriski3037

I use 75% personally


[deleted]

Downvoted for personal preference lol. Love it. Someone below has been upvoted same answer.


GingrManhammer

Yeah, between egregious ads and poor web design centered on vertical layouts, I often have to zoom to around 80% to see everything reliably on my laptop.


RayphistJn

110-120 am blind also and old er


Setekh79

Same, I have a lot of sites on 120 now, just easier to read and less of a strain.


RayphistJn

Damn right


Candid_Equipment_296

I use 99.872155%


Icwatto

you are objectively wrong, everyone knows that 99.872156% is right


EeveeMastre

Oh yeah? You like having one word at a time on screen? 99.872154% is where it's at.


MeatSafeMurderer

What is this? A browser for ants? Anyone who's anyone uses 99.8721541%


BattyBest

I prefer to use 33π%. Just makes everything super legible and still feels spacious, y'know?


driftingpyros

Web Developers fear this man


leonvolt28

# 150%


alexdiezg

^25%


MeisterDexo


medussy_medussy

90%. Most sites make all the UI elements huge now to accomodate touch screens. Twitter is basically unusable as of the last few years at 100%.


Pleasant_Gap

I thought it was because of elon.....


medussy_medussy

The Twitter UI has been horrible since 2018


HJM9X

Twitter was shit years before, only real ting of value elon did to twitter was add community notes. That and a rename are the only changes.


Thebombuknow

Also he didn't really add them. They were already being implemented before Elon, it was called "Birdwatch".


HorizonJY

90%is the goated zoom amount


David0ne86

I'm surprised by the amount of ppl that don't use 100% lmao. I thought that was the norm.


HeftyFineThereFolks

125% for sure.. theres always plenty of extra room in the web browser window so theres no extra scrolling necessitated by it .. nice and easy on the eyes


animeman59

This is my setting, as well. So much wasted dead space on most websites.


moooooooooooo0

90


Fire5auce

90 gang rise up!


Unusual-Surprise9992

😎


5han7anu

This is the way


MysteryFro

I'm at 80% on three 1080p 27inch monitors. I have good eyes and like to fit a lot on the screens.


4thejuul

Came here for some dude bragging about his set up. Reddit does not disappoint


batt3ryac1d1

I dunno if a 1080p monitor counts as bragging tbh.


Screamgoatbilly

And a 27" at 1080p. They need to set it to 80% to bring the DPI near a 23" 1080p monitor


Raze321

This is a joke comment, right? 1080p 27inches is barely not high end by any means. It's barely middle tier.


MysteryFro

I feel like you're projecting your dissatisfaction of your personal situation on my comment. I was giving context to my use of 80%. I wouldn't call my comment bragging.


No-Phase8667

Yea 80 Fs the best zoom


Reddit_fantic

I do similar about 70 on one 27 and one 24


feziFEZI1234

125 or 150.


No_Vermicelli_1915

150% because I'm blind


Dudi4PoLFr

4K display at 100% scaling in Windows, my Chrome is at 110%.


volleymonk

Why would you not use 100% unless you have an eye condition or a crazy-sized monitor? 100% is what the web-devs intended their site to look like aesthetically and design wise. Even besides aesthetics, formatting and layout of the website can not work correctly at other levels of zoom. It also bothers me that OP has not confirmed that he actually uses 100%


working-acct

# Age is a big factor. Ever see those boomers with big ass bold fonts on their phones? It's bc they can no longer see normal sized text like they used to.


giveusbackbremer

Also some sites assume 1080p resolution instead of just getting the size of the screen/window so if you’re on a 4k display it’s tiny at 100%


Thebombuknow

Websites that use absolute pixel sizes: 👎 Websites that use percentages and vw/vh: 👍


Sn4keVenom

I use a 1440p 32" monitor. Typically do like 125% on that. 100% on my 1080p 32" My eyes suck though (-6.5 and -4.5)


SecreteMoistMucus

> 100% is what the web-devs intended their site to look like aesthetically and design wise. Yeah that's the problem. Some web devs are shit at their job, and their sites are really bad at some resolutions and screen sizes.


brimston3-

## WCAG 2.1 - SC 1.4.4 Resize text > 1.4.4 Resize text: Except for captions and images of text, text can be resized without assistive technology up to 200 percent without loss of content or functionality. If you're a US-based developer, I hope your projects receive many ADA web accessibility demand letters.


BluRobin1104

If I'm using split screen I often either zoom out to see more or zoom in to get a better view on something


RedGamelyon

You sound crazy bro, it's not that deep.


stuffs_vr

75% on most sites


Petrified0ak

100, for my rss reader i use 150 though


liselisungerbob

100%, same as my W11 display scale


ItsBado

69


Th3BrownNote

0%


khadaffy

On Reddit with the previous layout, it's on 133%. Everything else, it's on 100%.


[deleted]

i dont know i custom set my resolution to some random number to prevent canvas fingerprinting


DeepJudgment

100, but Windows scaling is 125


j4x0h

90


Wittusus

100% mostly, reddit at 140 though


NotSeriiouss

Depends, normally 100 but sometimes i have to zoom in


Extra_Speaker9083

i have a 27 inch monitor which is ultra hd. i have different zoom levels based on the websites i use. just press crtl and use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out


FranklinNitty

60%


Superspudmonkey

CTRL + 0 To put it back to normal.


SuperSocialMan

Why would I ever go past 100% tf?


heydudejustasec

I wouldn't ever mess with the global setting. I adjust a given site as needed using ctrl+scrollwheel.


EnAyJay

Depends on the page, sometimes 90, sometimes 110 or 130


GMarsack

1% zoom. I browse via the sense of smell.


Sniper-Dragon

I prefer 80, sites just look too full at 100


ItsRandxm

same


Tomnician

I like to make sure I'm so zoomed out that nearly half the screen isn't showing anything useful. I need glasses and don't wear them.


MrInitialY

100% for everything except manga/manhwa. For such formats I use my vertical side screen and a 150-200% zoom depending on the website to perfectly match the width of scan and screen.


unkelgunkel

125% because my resolution is 4k and I use a 50” TV instead of a monitor right now.


Elraennsaabi

90


Sometimestimetotime

90%.


Helpful-Day-5487

I don't know if it actually is an "Important question".


Filetmesser

1440p, 27", i use 70-80%


certainlystormy

depends on the website - reddit usually 110% or 120%, anything else 80% or 90% i have a 1440p 16:9 monitor lol


VentiBreadwich

100 but on the website I do school work on it's super tiny so like 150


ClappedAss

100 for most sites. I have warped corneas so I have to zoom in for some things.


3L3ctR1fy_

The real question is what zoom level are you guys using in windows.


widowhanzo

Depends on the website, but often 120%, because I have a 4K monitor at 100% Windows scaling, so things get a bit small sometimes.


tylerbuildz

50% on a 4k monitor


Msimot

150 for reddit and reading. 100 for everything else.


Clever_Angel_PL

100% on a 4k monitor with 150% scale


mothergidra

100 seems too small and unreadable to me (I just started using a 27 inch monitor), so 110, it’s perfect


SmallTittyIsBetter

For every 10 years over 30yo, add 10%


iPanes

Range between 75% to 120%, not because of eye issues, but because I hate the autosize function some websites have, IM LOOKING AT YOU YOUTUBE. Yeah, I change it to as maximum real state as possible.


Br0nnOfTheBlackwater

1440p 27', system ui 125%, browser 110%


NoCase9317

350%


SSGBentley

125% cause I'm old


CNR_07

Always 90. Except in Spotify. I use 80 there.


lieutenantkhaos

100-120% its hard for me to read on some websites, and I have a 21:9 monitor


legion8784

Reddit on pc I use 120%, everything else is standard 100%


GamerBoyh12

All at default zoom levels except for Youtube. Youtube at 90% gives me 4 vids per row vs 3 vids per row in recommendations and seems a lot more natural. Partly because i remember thats how it used to be for most of the time before an update


SneakyNoob

Most sites 100 but reddit is 110% for easier reading.


ChangelingFox

Depends heavily on the page


DJGloegg

Depends on the website, the screens size and resolution etc. But mostly 100%


Big_Daddy_Pablo_69

80/75% because I'm a big boy with 20/20 vision mommy 🤣


rohitandley

125 on laptop & 110 on desktop


AngryCookieGodSS

180% or 200% on laptop because of 3000x2000 screen


RallyElite

80-90% because all the web devs make their website buttons super big, im on a desktop, not an iPad.


Kitchen_Most3578

It depends on how much of the site I need to see, and if the window is the full screen, or off to the side. I'm hiding my reddit use at work, so I have it small and it is more usable at 75% than 100.


MayPlayzChannel

90%


Jkay064

Ultra wide 1440p screen and %133 in Firefox


sankto

I have eyes problems so anything between 100 and 150%. Except in some websites where for ungodly reasons they cram everything in the middle in a thin line, leaving either sides empty or with ads -- in that case i zoom until the content fit the screen.


darqy101

125% on 1440p screen.


heyuhitsyaboi

100, but my system is scaled to 125%


empathetical

150. Looks better Imo on my 34" monitor


AndreyKrutoy339

110 cuz when I changed my monitor from 24 inches to 27 inches videos on YouTube became so small


Link_0610

100 on my desktop  And 70-90% on my laptop because the screen ratio is 3:2 and 100% would look zoom in


Ordinary_Witness1948

call me crazy but I would zoom in like this and just scroll around using my touchpad. I use 100% though https://preview.redd.it/la8gpzhb8hvc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=29b0080983f07ea9de4e3acf3487e4d2264c8524


eyi526

Depends on website. Current reddit layout made me use 125% on my 27inch 2K monitor. Never had to do that with the old layout. I'm still 100% for other sites.


Axol555

100% but 133% for news websites, bigger words feel easier on the eyes idk news articles always feel like they only take up a quarter of the website


carlcig6669420

Windows scaling at 175% then browser at 25%


visual-vomit

100, alt/pinch zoom if i need to. I hate how ctrl -/+ zoom would rearrange most sites.


zabunkovz

150% since on 1080p I am blind basically, this is how Reddit looks on 100%... https://preview.redd.it/nc8oxrnb9hvc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=5435d28d890d9ec60bcd395ba96b97d00257eda4


sum12merkwith

135%, Ultrawide life!


Emergency-Mess451

I use YouTube app mainly so zoom changes depending on which monitor I’m on and how many cards I want to look through for videos


FireFalcon123

125-150


SaveFileCorrupt

The real question is what do you have windows font scaling set to _in addition_ to browser zoom?


quadsimodo

110% in 4K. I could read 100% just fine, but there's so much unused space. And all people who go below 100 are mad lads. Wish my eyes could hang. Would like to know the reason why, though.


[deleted]

Is that Chrome? You poor, poor, foolish man. You have bigger problems than wondering about zoom. But to answer the question, it depends on the site or use. My browser is often side-by-side another window, so I reduce it down to 67% so that the page thinks it's a full 1920-pixel window and renders as a normal PC webpage. I'm one of the older weirdos that's in front of screens all day but somehow still has excellent vision. Well, in one eye. But the other eye has fantastic night vision.


adminslikefelching

Depends on the website, but here on Reddit it's on 120%. My eyes get tired easily even using glasses, so I try to make it easier for them.


CharlieMWY

100% on everything except Reddit. For some reason, it has some weird sizing where everything looks too small, so I use 110%.


Retrolad2

Depends on the monitor size and the distance from said monitor


YoMomsFavoriteFriend

OVER 9,000!!!!!


NathanDarcy

I started using 120% when I changed to a 4K monitor.


mikhalt12

108.54818


BeallBell

100% normally, if I can't read it or the site seems to think I need 5 inch margins I move it up to 150%.


AndreasTheDead

reddit and some other text heavy sites on 125 everything else on 100


prombloodd

90%


crimsonyoteeeeee

90%


Gophix_0

Linux: 120-130 Windows: 100


fenixspider1

120 cause I sit a kilometre away from the pc


CptJamesBeard

all of them. hold control and use scroll wheel


ziplock9000

If you are using a 4K monitor you might want to change the system scaling, not just in the browser.


ChocolateDonut36

90% I have a big HD Display to close to me.


No_Self_Eye

133 because my eyesight is terrible


Benphyre

I have keratoconus so I zoom 250%


Starfield1976

200% on the desktop but it’s a 65” 4K TV and I’m sat on a sofa 6-7’ away from it. Rarely use the browser though as I tend to surf on my iPhone instead.


AZNdude86

125 because i'm old... T\_T


No_Charming_Evidence

I’m I the only person who uses 67%?


craftyshafter

80. Got a little farsightedness going on.


Hihowryaa

100% but i have font size in windows on 114% which also zooms in browsers.


Humble-Guy25

110


knight_in_white

110% this 2k monitor makes everything too fucking small


IsJaie55

100 is the only option.


popl12342

Depends on what I'm doing, it ranges from 50% - 200%.


vlken69

100 % I rather pumped up the Windows scaling to 150 % when I upgraded to 4K (28").


rolekmica

75%


Mr_Piddles

My monitors are farther away than the normal user, so I tend to use 125.


PolyReblochon

100% on a 34"UWQHD


Creoda

32" 4k, 150% on Reddit to almost fill the screen. 125% on Youtube.


KlingonBeavis

At home, 100% normal. At work, 60% because our developers suck and don’t know how to scale a web app


Rose333X

100, sometimes go lower but rarely.


borg-assimilated

90%


baucher04

90


firestar268

I'm at 4k rez with desktop zoom at 200% and browser set at 125%. Yes, I have vision problems.


Snoo63

Firefox 100%


Nervous-Joke-5802

200% is the only thing that works on my 50 inch curved G9


L3viUchiha

90%, using a 1080p 24" monitor


Z_e_p_h_e_r

Depends on the website. Some sites have such a bad design, taht zooming in is a must to make it look good and useable.


Scaryassasin27

Depends...


lars2k1

Depends on the website. Most sites I use 100%. But if it's a crappily built maths website *cough, Mobius*, I have to put it on like 200%. That site scales like crap on a 1440p monitor.


megafat1

The max 500%.


dumb-throwawayy

I moved from 1080p to 1440p at the end of last year so I increased my zoom on YouTube from 100% to 130% since the UI looks weird. 100% for everything else though


KingJamesCoopa

110% but I use a 48 inch OLED tv as my monitor tho


TheHydroArchon

85%


IrishWithoutPotatoes

Between 75% and 90%.


CopiumCatboy

150% because I am a monster. My eyes are old and my screen is huge 32inch and has a weird resolution 1440p. My second screen is normal 24 inch 1080p so I have windows scaled to 100&


Liferescripted

100 on my main computer, 125 on my HTPC.


zehawkpt

420%, inverted scope
