Ask HN: Why do certain websites’ images get smaller when I zoom in?
by cphoover on Hacker News.
It seems as though very frequently these days whenever I try to enlarge an image by zooming in within chrome (ctrl-+) images end up getting smaller. What is with this current anti-pattern? I see it all over the place including Whatsapp, google images, facebook’s gallery view. When I zoom in within my browser I would assume images would get bigger not smaller. I believe this to be an issue within dynamic flex-based layouts and/or percentage based width on an image.
