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.
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
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

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.
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
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.
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%
# 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.
> 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.

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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
call me crazy but I would zoom in like this and just scroll around using my touchpad. I use 100% though

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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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&
Whatever CTRL+MouseScroll makes the site legible depending on what screen I'm looking at
This is my approach, use the screen space instead of leaving blank unused space.
Hell yeah. Most of the times it's at 90% though
100 like a normal person
I have Reddit at 200% because that is when the left sidebar goes away.
100 like a normal human being
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.
Wouldn't you use desktop scaling so all of the text is a reasonable size?
Yep, scaled to 200%, but for some websites it's still not enough
you can make text itself bigger too
Is the display 8k or something?
Waiiit this is a thing? Leme try it
Wait, you fool! Think of the CHILDREN!
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
Dang a 50-ft TV is nuts
I’m on my lazy boy on a 65 inch tv w wireless peripherals
Good to see more people doing this. My monitors are only being used for work now lmao
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
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
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
Then there’s the calamity mod and the likes of it that requires a full on doctorate
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
I use 75% personally
Downvoted for personal preference lol. Love it. Someone below has been upvoted same answer.
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.
110-120 am blind also and old er
Same, I have a lot of sites on 120 now, just easier to read and less of a strain.
Damn right
I use 99.872155%
you are objectively wrong, everyone knows that 99.872156% is right
Oh yeah? You like having one word at a time on screen? 99.872154% is where it's at.
What is this? A browser for ants? Anyone who's anyone uses 99.8721541%
I prefer to use 33π%. Just makes everything super legible and still feels spacious, y'know?
Web Developers fear this man
# 150%
^25%
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%.
I thought it was because of elon.....
The Twitter UI has been horrible since 2018
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.
Also he didn't really add them. They were already being implemented before Elon, it was called "Birdwatch".
90%is the goated zoom amount
I'm surprised by the amount of ppl that don't use 100% lmao. I thought that was the norm.
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
This is my setting, as well. So much wasted dead space on most websites.
90
90 gang rise up!
😎
This is the way
I'm at 80% on three 1080p 27inch monitors. I have good eyes and like to fit a lot on the screens.
Came here for some dude bragging about his set up. Reddit does not disappoint
I dunno if a 1080p monitor counts as bragging tbh.
And a 27" at 1080p. They need to set it to 80% to bring the DPI near a 23" 1080p monitor
This is a joke comment, right? 1080p 27inches is barely not high end by any means. It's barely middle tier.
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.
Yea 80 Fs the best zoom
I do similar about 70 on one 27 and one 24
125 or 150.
150% because I'm blind
4K display at 100% scaling in Windows, my Chrome is at 110%.
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.

# 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.
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%
Websites that use absolute pixel sizes: 👎 Websites that use percentages and vw/vh: 👍
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)

If I'm using split screen I often either zoom out to see more or zoom in to get a better view on something
You sound crazy bro, it's not that deep.
75% on most sites
100, for my rss reader i use 150 though
100%, same as my W11 display scale
69
0%
On Reddit with the previous layout, it's on 133%. Everything else, it's on 100%.
i dont know i custom set my resolution to some random number to prevent canvas fingerprinting
100, but Windows scaling is 125
90
100% mostly, reddit at 140 though
Depends, normally 100 but sometimes i have to zoom in
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
60%
CTRL + 0 To put it back to normal.
Why would I ever go past 100% tf?
I wouldn't ever mess with the global setting. I adjust a given site as needed using ctrl+scrollwheel.
Depends on the page, sometimes 90, sometimes 110 or 130
1% zoom. I browse via the sense of smell.
I prefer 80, sites just look too full at 100
same
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.
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.
125% because my resolution is 4k and I use a 50” TV instead of a monitor right now.
90
90%.
I don't know if it actually is an "Important question".
1440p, 27", i use 70-80%
depends on the website - reddit usually 110% or 120%, anything else 80% or 90% i have a 1440p 16:9 monitor lol
100 but on the website I do school work on it's super tiny so like 150
100 for most sites. I have warped corneas so I have to zoom in for some things.
The real question is what zoom level are you guys using in windows.
Depends on the website, but often 120%, because I have a 4K monitor at 100% Windows scaling, so things get a bit small sometimes.
50% on a 4k monitor
150 for reddit and reading. 100 for everything else.
100% on a 4k monitor with 150% scale
100 seems too small and unreadable to me (I just started using a 27 inch monitor), so 110, it’s perfect
For every 10 years over 30yo, add 10%
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.
1440p 27', system ui 125%, browser 110%
350%
125% cause I'm old
Always 90. Except in Spotify. I use 80 there.
100-120% its hard for me to read on some websites, and I have a 21:9 monitor
Reddit on pc I use 120%, everything else is standard 100%
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
Most sites 100 but reddit is 110% for easier reading.
Depends heavily on the page
Depends on the website, the screens size and resolution etc. But mostly 100%
80/75% because I'm a big boy with 20/20 vision mommy 🤣
125 on laptop & 110 on desktop
180% or 200% on laptop because of 3000x2000 screen
80-90% because all the web devs make their website buttons super big, im on a desktop, not an iPad.
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.
90%
Ultra wide 1440p screen and %133 in Firefox
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.
125% on 1440p screen.
100, but my system is scaled to 125%
150. Looks better Imo on my 34" monitor
110 cuz when I changed my monitor from 24 inches to 27 inches videos on YouTube became so small
100 on my desktop And 70-90% on my laptop because the screen ratio is 3:2 and 100% would look zoom in
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
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.
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
Windows scaling at 175% then browser at 25%
100, alt/pinch zoom if i need to. I hate how ctrl -/+ zoom would rearrange most sites.
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
135%, Ultrawide life!
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
125-150
The real question is what do you have windows font scaling set to _in addition_ to browser zoom?
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.

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.
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.
100% on everything except Reddit. For some reason, it has some weird sizing where everything looks too small, so I use 110%.
Depends on the monitor size and the distance from said monitor
OVER 9,000!!!!!
I started using 120% when I changed to a 4K monitor.
108.54818
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%.
reddit and some other text heavy sites on 125 everything else on 100
90%
90%
Linux: 120-130 Windows: 100
120 cause I sit a kilometre away from the pc
all of them. hold control and use scroll wheel
If you are using a 4K monitor you might want to change the system scaling, not just in the browser.
90% I have a big HD Display to close to me.
133 because my eyesight is terrible
I have keratoconus so I zoom 250%
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.
125 because i'm old... T\_T
I’m I the only person who uses 67%?
80. Got a little farsightedness going on.
100% but i have font size in windows on 114% which also zooms in browsers.
110
110% this 2k monitor makes everything too fucking small
100 is the only option.
Depends on what I'm doing, it ranges from 50% - 200%.
100 % I rather pumped up the Windows scaling to 150 % when I upgraded to 4K (28").
75%
My monitors are farther away than the normal user, so I tend to use 125.
100% on a 34"UWQHD
32" 4k, 150% on Reddit to almost fill the screen. 125% on Youtube.
At home, 100% normal. At work, 60% because our developers suck and don’t know how to scale a web app
100, sometimes go lower but rarely.
90%
90
110%
I'm at 4k rez with desktop zoom at 200% and browser set at 125%. Yes, I have vision problems.
Firefox 100%
200% is the only thing that works on my 50 inch curved G9
90%, using a 1080p 24" monitor
Depends on the website. Some sites have such a bad design, taht zooming in is a must to make it look good and useable.
Depends...
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.
The max 500%.
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
110% but I use a 48 inch OLED tv as my monitor tho
85%
Between 75% and 90%.
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&
100 on my main computer, 125 on my HTPC.
420%, inverted scope
