I downloaded the beta version of the next iteration of Google’s Chrome browser. The big accessibility improvement is the switch from text zoom to full page zoom.
From the Zoom – Google Chrome Help page.
If you’re using Google Chrome Beta, try out the new full-page zoom functionality. Go to the Page menu and select Zoom. Whereas text zoom only affects the text on a webpage, full-page zoom scales everything on the page, including images.
This is a big improvement for me. What I don’t understand is why replace the text zoom with full page zoom. Why not offer both. Sometimes one works better than the other. That is why Firefox’s NoSquint add-on is so great. Full page zoom can make the page extend past the sides of the window, forcing users to scroll back and forth. But full page zoom widens those narrow pages to fill the screen width.
