Remembering Scale #38

Open ZestyQuarks opened 4 years ago

ZestyQuarks commented 4 years ago

It'd be lovely if the extension could remember the scale it was set to. As a severely visually disabled person, the width-locked reflow behaviour of mobile-enabled sites (I forget the awful "trend" name that has) is really painful for me.

Having sites keep their original dimensions would be a dream come true honestly as this method of zooming is so far beyond and superior to the reflow one that Firefox uses by default that it's not even funny.

The ideal would be to have a base zoom level option and to remember the zoom level per site. Failing that, it'd be okay with just a base zoom level.

If it could have both, though? Then that'd make Firefox's reflow zoom so utterly obsolete that I'd never use it again. Which is something I really, really, really want.

That is future perfect.

Hey @ZestyQuarks, I'd like to implement this for you :), with regard to the base zoom level setting for all sites, would you be happy for it to start zoomed into the top-left corner of the page?

When returning to a page, should it also to the last zoomed position (as well as zoom level) or start zoomed into the top-left?
