Windows 10: How do I make the text bigger in Chrome and other browsers

"Have you tried to read a web page and you had to squint your eyes because the font size was too small? The combination of resolutions and screen sizes can result in wild pairings that make the text on the web pages hard to read. The question is: How do I permanently enlarge text in my browser? The answer differs quite a lot depending on the web browser that you use. In this guide, we answer this question for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge..."

Now the overall UI looks consistent with the rest of Windows general scale, except for the tabs which now show a tiny text.
Again, not perfect, but very close.
Hope this can help others in the same situation.

 

The text on Google Chrome goes pink sometimes ???

Hello chrysocome,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Is this issue happening only on Google Chrome or on other browsers?
   

Method 1: In the Chrome settings menu click Advanced, scroll down to 'use hardware settings when available' turn this
Off, relaunch Chrome.

If the above step does not work, follow step 2.

Method 2: Reset Google Chrome browser.

Hope it helps.
