    How to magnify text?


    I need my text larger on all websites. I know I can go to "display settings", but I have that set to the max (125%) and it's still not large enough. Then there is the magnifier which will only do 100% and 200% (plus I think it's only good for items on the computer). I need something that will take the font size up to around 150% on Facebook, Wikipedia, etc. Is there an app for that, or is there a setting of which I'm not aware?

    All browsers support magnifying either via settings or by holding CTRL + mouse wheel or by holding CTRL and "+".

    Not sure I follow you. Will this work on Facebook or Wikipedia, for example?

    Depending on your browser, you can change webpage's size. If you want to change just font's size, that is different.
