On numerous occasions we visit Web pages that show very little content, this presents itself as a major inconvenience, especially in the event that we want to read the text displayed. To avoid this type of inconvenience, web browsers such as Google Chrome, incorporates a Zoom function that allows you to zoom in on the view, enlarging the content.

The problem is that the standard Google Chrome Zoom settings are not suitable for all web pages as each one shows the content in a different size or dimension. This means that if we modify the Chrome default Zoom to correctly view a website, when we visit a different one, we may have to adjust the Zoom again to get a better user experience..
Fortunately Google Chorme also allows you to establish a specific Zoom for each Web that you want and that you visit from the Chrome browser. This is really useful if we frequently use certain Webs that require a different Zoom. In this way, whenever we visit these Webs again, each one will automatically be shown with a specific Zoom scale and configured specifically by you.
Having said this, we show you step by step how to configure an automatic zoom for specific Websites in Google Chrome. We will also teach you how to configure a default Zoom (general / standard) in the browser as well as manage the Zooms configured specifically for the desired Webs;
