Is there a way to make text size bigger or zoom all sites?

I found zoom in chrome settings but if go to another size or another tab it reset to 100%

It does remember settings if go back to a site you have turned zoom up on.

I lent my 17" pro to a friend but her dad finds text too small due to high screen res (compared to the old windows machine).

If I turn res down is looks terrible.

Is there a setting in chrome I missed or can it be done in OSX itself?
 
thank you.

Added to favorites.

I was not able to locate this.

thank you.

shame no karma on this forum as I give you some for sure!

You're welcome; appreciate the karma. 8)

Side note if you happen to adjust the font style -- In Fx, you can choose a custom font; I did. Visited a site and none of the links there would work, amongst other wonky happenings. Took me awhile to figure out what was going on. It was because of the custom font. I let the site load its own font style and all was well. Tested it several times.

It is just size as new user's parents are bit older and it just too small with high res on 17" pro.

They only use 1280x1024 on the old PC they where using.
even then they sometimes uses 1024x768.
