Desktop browser doesn't have basic UI scaling

igorr0driguez commented 2 years ago

Description

What I'm talking about is basic UI scaling for the desktop browser, for example in percentages.

I'm not aiming at advanced browser customization, which is another kind of feature.

The UI feels clumped for a lot people, and that includes myself.

If you take accessibility into account, this should be a "must have" to say the least.

Steps to Reproduce

Go to settings
Appearence
UI Scaling is not an option

Actual result:

Nothing changes.

Expected result:

I can scale my UI.

Reproduces how often:

on the macbook 16" the UI fonts are very small and there no way to fix it easily.

The main reason that keeps me using Firefox.

Been on Brave for years, then went to Edge for AI integration but have now come back to Brave.

Literally the only downside for me is how cramped the tabs and general top area feels compared to other browsers. So would love to have some control over this.

Would also appreciate having the ability to scale the UI. Was using a 1080p monitor for years, just switched to 1440p today. The entire top section of the browser needs to be scale-able. It's way too cramped as-is. I genuinely can't imagine trying to use this browser on a 4k display.

I'm using it on a 4k monitor and I have normally good eyes but I find the ui small. Any form of scaling would be nice to have.
