I have a trackpad and keyboard ..
I also mainly use safari BUT its a royal PITA to pinch to zoom on each section!
I wnat it natively larger!
Also curious but im currently connected via HDMI.
Will i get better resolution if i connect via thunderbolt? So thunderbolt to hdmi adapter and then HMDI to TV?
I had the same issue, I found these directions while perusing the web one day. Note, this only works for Safari, but that is exactly what I needed. You can adjust the zoom by changing the number, I use 120.
"If you like to set a default zoom level for safari so you don't have to hit Ctrl+ (or Ctrl-) every time you start Safari and open a new tab, here's how you can do that. This should work on Safari for mac, too:
1) create a file named defaultzoom.css (or any name you like, just make sure it has a css extension.)
2) copy and paste in the following:
body {
zoom: 130%;
}
change 130 to whatever number suits you. >100 means zoom in, <100 means zoom out. Don't forget the % percent sign!
3) in safari, go to Preferences > Advanced. Under style sheet, select Other... and point to the file you created.
4) you may need to restart safari for the change to take effect."
