Per Tab Zoom is the one and only extension that lets you customize Chrome’s factory shortcuts for zooming in and out.
Those shortcuts are:
• [Ctrl] + [Mouse Wheel]
• [Ctrl] + [+/-]
You can control whether they perform the usual per-domain zoom or the handy per-tab zoom.
A per-tab zoom only affects pages you view on that specific tab, whereas per-domain zoom affects all pages under the same domain.
Additionally, this extension provides two extra shortcuts:
• [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [Mouse Wheel]
• [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [+/-]
That way you can have at your disposal both kinds of zoom at all times.
You can also choose to disable any of the 4 shortcuts in case they interfere with your habits.
★ Per Tab Zoom is a native extension ★
Native extensions are a special kind of extensions that can customize
Chrome’s native shortcuts in addition to a number of other benefits.
Per Tab Zoom, being a native extension, can offer the unique feature
of customizing Chrome’s native shortcut for zooming in and out.
This functionality is not possible on regular extensions.
In order to achieve this, native extensions require the installation
of a native component, which is a program that cooperates with the web
component. This gives the extension its unique features.
You’ll be prompted to install the native component program right after
installing the extension.
Learn more about the Native Component and its benefits here:

★ System Requirements ★
Being a native extension demands additional development effort to
support each operating system. For this reason, Per Tab Zoom is initially
supported on:
• Windows XP *
• Windows Vista *
• Windows 7
• Windows 8
• Windows 10
*: Not supported by the Chrome Web Store. You must install from:
http://autocontrol.app/manual-install
★ Permissions ★
Per tab Zoom needs the permission “Communicate with cooperating
native applications”.
This allows it to interact with the Native Component program that
you install at the beginning.
No support for anything other than Windows.
simple and easy! love that
太實用了!
Works perfectly for per-tab zooming with simple and customizable keyboard and mouse shortcuts. Thanks for creating this very useful extension.
Does what it says it does, and I haven’t run into any bugs yet.
Does what it says on the tin 🙂 Wanting something like this for ages. I was also a bit uncertain about the native app but happy enough now since some functionality is not part of Chrome
i just wondered WHY you would release an extension that requires an extra program to be downloaded
and installed into the computer operating system?
does that not defete the purpose of extensions?….they should just be browser specific.
That said, the extension is indeed working……..but it’s not something that appealed to me requiring an
extra program to be natively installed to the computer OS.
thx
Does what it should do and explains everything you might want to know.
I like it, does exactly what it is intended for.
I’ve been wishing I could do this for literally years and finally buckled down to search how and this did it! Ha ha!!! Love it.
Simple, easy to use, does exactly what it is supposed to. Being able to Ctrl + Scroll in to zoom in on a single tab is invaluable.
Works exactly as stated and gets round a “feature” that the chrome team refuse to address. Well done.
It was exactly what I wanted, didn’t mind intalling a native component, but does not work on Linux which you can find out by reading the description page but only if you click “Read more”.
I’ll add a star when the restriction appears first on the description
I’d add more starts when it works on Linux.
I have a mouse with momentum scrolling (Logitech G502) which is awesome most of the time. It causes problems when I am scroll to the top of the page, for example, and so the page stops moving but the mouse wheel is still spinning. If I then hit CTRL (to switch tabs for example), the page gets zoomed in or out a ton.
This app allows me to turn off “CTRL + Mouse Wheel” scrolling entirely. It’s not perfect but it works better than any other solution I’ve found. Sometimes, when scrolling quickly and then hitting CTRL (to switch tabs for example) it will still zoom in or out about 10%, but that’s significantly better than the 500% or 10% I was getting before, and it happens much less frequently. Well done.
Works just as intended, great work!
supposedly only works on windows. requires installation of separate exe file. aviod at all cost.
