In Safari, enlarging the text of a web page is as easy as holding in the Command button and tapping the + button on the keyboard. To decrease the text size in Safari, use the Command and - buttons on the keyboard. To return the text to default size click Command + 0 (zero). In Safari, you can also the pinch in or out gesture on your trackpad to zoom in or out, respectively.

You can also resize text with Safari’s Reader feature. With the Reader feature activated, use the Command + or Command - shortcuts to enlarge or shrink the text. You can also use the Zoom In and Out buttons in the mouse over menu that appears near the bottom of the Reader box.

Just like Safari, Firefox uses the same Command + and Command - keyboard shortcuts to zoom in and out on the web page. Like Safari, you can return to default test size and clicking Command + 0. However, Firefox has yet to implement the pinch to zoom feature that Safari uses.

Google’s Chrome fans, will be happy to learn that the browser utilizes the pinch to zoom feature of Safari in addition to the Command + and Command - keyboard shortcuts for zooming. Just pinch in on your Mac’s trackpad to zoom in, or pinch out on the trackpad to zoom back out. Also like Safari, you can use Command + 0 to return to the default text size. Google Chrome also seems to have the ability to zoom in further than the other browsers for extreme closeups.
