Cannot zoom with Ctrl + touchpad scroll in Brave browser

Framework Laptop 13 Linux

  • Bios: A5?
  • Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series)

I posted this on the Brave Forum as well but I’m posting it here also for visibility. Most likely not a Framework issue, but a Brave/Fedora issue.

I am not sure it if helps, but on a FW16, CTRL - two finger scroll works for zoom on Firefox but not Chrome.
I don’t have “brave”, but it looks like a browser application specific problem.

Thank you, yes seems to be a Chromium issue with touchpads.

I just use “CTRL +” or “CTRL -” for zoom. It works on both browsers.

In Chrome I zoom in by “spreading” two fingers on the touch-pad like you would on a cell phone screen to zoom in on an image. Have you tried that?

Yes, that works but it is a different kind of zoom that magnifies. The browser zoom keeps all the text in place but just increases the font size.

I appreciate the suggestion, though.
