Zoom for Microsoft Edge

Considered by some a big step for Microsoft, while others are not so fond of it, Microsoft Edge is now very much part of the Windows 10 "default" user experience. Having said that, considering the fact that it comes with support for extensions, you might want to give it a chance.

Coming from the developer of the same developer that created the famous cross-browser extension Turn Off the Lights, Zoom for Microsoft Edge is a nifty little tool that aims to make your browsing experience a tad bit better by allowing you to comfortably magnify web content.

Apart from enhanced accessibility (thanks to a handy slider), the main reason you might want to install this extension on your computer's Edge browser is the one up to four hundred offered zoom factor. The fact that it can save the zoom value for any number of websites is also another worth mentioning gimmick that should spark your interest.

We're happy to report that video experience has not been overlooked. Use the extension to zoom in on any YouTube page, and you will notice that it also increases the size of the video player itself. It works just as good with HTML5 videos, as well. Head over to the Options section, and you are bound to discover a few other customization features that might also contribute towards making your Edge browsing experience a bit better.

The extension can be effortlessly installed from the Microsoft Store, and it only requires you to enable it once you launch Edge afterward.

Since we're on the subject, we'll say that, by default, it lives in the Extensions panel. We know, this is not exactly ideal, therefore, right-click the extension in order to add it next to the address bar, the typical position for most tools of this type.

To sum it all up, Zoom for Microsoft Edge is a worthy extension for the Microsoft-vetted browser. It improves the way Edge can handle magnification tasks on a wide array of websites, it's easy to install, easy to work with, and it also comes with a few extra customization features meant to improve your browsing experience even more.
