I've just installed Trisquel 8, Abrowser won't save zoom level for each page, it discards them once the web page is closed, for example, I open Wikipedia, I zoom in 150%, I close then reopen a new Wikipedia tab, I find my zoom level reseted to default (100%).
This issue doesn't exist in Firefox, Icecat, or (Trisquel 7)'s Abrowser.

Can anyone confirm? I believe this issue is really annoying for people with weak eyesight, who constantly need to zoom in.

I have just tried: the zoom level was properly restored here.

Are you sure you're using Trisquel 8 with Abrowser 61.0.1 ?? Because that's what I use, on 2 different notebooks, and it won't save my zoom level, THIS 100% A BUG, and needs to be reported.

One thing about Abrowser I want to change is to have it save the window size/maximization. I think I mentioned something about it, but there was no clear answer at the time. I may get into a little bit of development on Abrowser, once I get some source code or whatever.

I can confirm. I am on abrowser 61.01 on Trisquel 8. Same behavior. I open a page, set zoom level, close abrowser, reopen abrowser, return to the same page, and the zoom level is back to 100%.

Not sure if its a bug, or a design choice for increased browser privacy. Just like browser geometry, web pages may be able to remember your browser zoom level.

Both behaviors (resetting browser geometry and resetting zoom level) are indeed privacy features, not bugs. They reduce the uniqueness of your browser in order to resist fingerprinting.

If you wish to disable these features, you can do so by going to about:config and changing privacy.resistFingerprinting to False.

I indeed set that key to "false" (I do not remember why).

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for the tip, chaosmonk. Is this written anywhere in the documentation?

Edit: I put that info in: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/abrowser-help
