Comment:

 Site-specific zoom settings are disabled. And new windows/tabs always
 start with 100%. But any zoom set on a tab **remains** until reset/changed
 - even if the domain changes.

 Zoom affects almost everything (as you can see from my test) - all the
 measurements, dpi, dppx, dpcm, devicePixelRatio etc, you can just use the
 size of an element.... and so on.

 But, in general, everyone would be the same: i.e everyone starts at
 1000x1000px, they zoom to 133% and everyone returns 750x750. There's no
 entropy here

 I do not think disabling zoom is the answer: accessibility issues and
 different threat models and all that. But what could be tightened is that
 zoom is reset to 100% on a domain change **per tab**
