To be clear, a web browser is a user agent, not a webmaster agent, and is
subject to the whims and desires of its user who is in control of it to
whatever extent she knows how.

Zoom is a defense feature offered by modern browsers. Absent an offense by a
loaded web page, it isn't necessary. Web sites needn't, and shouldn't, be
offensive in the first place.

Many users "zoom" in advance, via the method of setting the default according
to personal needs instead of leaving it at the OEM setting of 12pt/16px. A
larger default setting has exactly the same effect on websites as text-only
zoom+, whether via the view menu, keyboard hotkeys, or mouse wheel.

Not all users use browsers that offer page zoom, and of those that do, not
all like the results of using it. Some instead opt to using zoom text only.

The best web site designs are resolution agnostic, meaning they work
similarly well regardless of a user's display resolution. Display resolution
by itself is meaningless. Only when coupled to knowledge of the display's
size can the knowledge of its resolution become useful. Still, here you go:
