I am a huge fan of the 3-finger zoom, but it's not exaclty the same as browser-provided zooming. The screen zooming provided by the 3-finger tap will not add resolution to downscaled images.

If I'm looking at a site that presents a massive image scaled to my display, the browser zoom will add more information as you zoom in. The 3-finger zoom will make the existing pixels larger.

Most of the time this difference isn't an issue, but it is a difference.
