The zoom isn't fine enough as the zoom is done at a preset value; even
Firefox has the ctrl + which doesn't do a decent job all the time.
Safari & Chrome also have the ctrl + & still doesn't do what I want
& just changing font sizes get overlaps & disappearing text at some
sites.

Well, to each their own preferences;  I prefer the tighter control I 
have with Nosquint.

Have done that & it isn't adquate enough for me.
The choice is in the user's domain & how bad is the eyesight.
