Ask HN: What zoom level do you browse HN at?

6 Retr0id 6 7/18/2025, 6:57:28 PM

I browse most of the web at a default 100% zoom level.

But for HN I have it set to 133% - I find the default uncomfortable, on desktop at least.

I'm just curious, does anyone else do the same?

Same here, 133%. HN's design if from a time when people used 15", 1024x768 resolution

Right this second I have it at 200%, but I've been having some vision issues and will soon be having corrective surgery on both of my eyes. Hopefully once that is done, I won't need such a high zoom level (and/or reading glasses) anymore.

On desktop on 133% at the moment. Can tolerate 120%, but the default is too small of a text size for me.
