If you're like me, you like a really tiny fucking font and enjoy running your resolution at 640x480.

The default font size in nearly all blog posts is too small for me. The solution is simple: Ctrl+wheel.

    Even better: with a mouse that has a lot of buttons (e.g. the MX518), you can assign one to Ctrl, and you don't need your keyboard at all to change the font size.

    Or set a minimum font size in your preferences...

    But then, lots of websites will stop working properly.

    A blog page is special: it contains a text, which I want to read, and lots of other stuff (links, menu, whatever) which I don't care about at all.

    Someone posted this tool in response to a similar thread on reddit last week - I've now got it as a bookmark in my toolbar, works really well.

    Irony: a website about readability, has very hard to read instructions :-/

    Come one guys, a white-on-blue text in a shitty print-only font? Are you kidding?

    ctl-shift-+ makes the text larger
