Anyone else use MAL zoomed in to maximize the resolution?

At 100% zoom MAL only uses up half my screen, so I zoomed in 150% to make it approximately fit my screen width without a horizontal scroll bar. Does anyone else do this?

On mobile phones, you can just zoom in and out on websites with two fingers, quick and convenient, so, I never pay attention to such a thing

No, did you just ask this question so you could flex how big your monitor is?

This is me using MAL at 100% zoom on a 3440 x 1440 monitor with me slitting more than my arm's length away from the screen.

I use 125% zoom. It aligns perfectly with threads, profiles, etc. Everything else is good, but not the "Post Message" page for forums. It's so god damn small. I always have to zoom in.

I use a 21.5 inch monitor (only 1920x1080 resolution) that's not far away from me, so it's already more than large enough.

Also, if you zoom in, you are not increasing the actual resolution (in the sense of quality) if it was already at 100%; you are merely making it better fit your window size. I have to zoom in to 175% for this thread to nearly fill my screen...but then the quality drops noticeably. (Especially for images.)

Edit: The actual resolution of text can increase when you zoom in, at least.

While 150% does fill up the screen I prefer the resolution at 100%

80%, because otherwise too much space is taken up lol. Most sites are the same actually.

100% fills up my screen well enough.

My monitor isn't even that big, so I thought most people also had the issue where MAL didn't fit well

110% right now, because I find the UI a bit small

No, but when I had a brand new laptop (which I had to return because of slowness), it left a bunch of white space on the sides whenever I used MAL (and maybe other sites, too). I kinda got used to it, but now I'm used to the normal way again.

Got used and stick with 100%. I don't mind the white space at the sides since you can customize it and the UI itself is big enough for me to be able to read everything

I don't like the letters too large, and zooming in damages the quality of forum pictures.

Also, the sight you must have when stumbling upon some forum signatures.
