Use the zoom feature to resize websites to fit your browser window.

Sometimes a website will be designed with a specific resolution in mind. If the resolution differs from the resolution settings on your computer, parts of the page could be cut off, requiring the use of scroll bars to view. All web browsers include a tool that allows the user to temporarily enlarge or shrink an entire website from within the browser. The Zoom tool is also useful for reading small text or taking a closer look at small pictures, although images appear pixilated if the page is viewed at too high of a level of magnification.
