I generally pinch zoom and that works across platforms. If you are looking for keyboard commands that work on mobile then I'd imagine they would be similar to the ones on desktop but I haven't checked recently.

To add to the list -- on the desktop many users I know use control plus scrolling the wheel too zoom-in on Windows based browsers.

hey all,

Some time ago Matt Brett came up with these really simple instructions for zooming text in a desktop/laptop browser

Is there something like that out there for phones? Or are they all different?

thanks!
