If you use a trackpad, you can use the scale gesture (pinch-to-zoom, but outwards) to increase the magnification of most web pages. Very useful for those of us past age 40.

On iOS, you can also use the same gesture directly on the screen.

And if that doesn't work (it doesn't for me), the older method should: Hold control and scroll, up to zoom in and down to zoom out.

On iOS you can also tap "aA" button in the URL bar to get to the scale settings.

Thank you!!!

Now I’m really annoyed with myself for not realising this. This insight is up there with the ‘spacebar long press to get a cursor’ thing
