This is how I view most pages on my Linux PC at home or my Windows PC at work.

For the majority of sites I use Firefox.
In the menu for zoom there is checkbox for "zoom text only". When I visit the page and the text is too small, I simply press Ctrl and use mouse scroll wheel to zoom up or down. VERY convenient.
I do the vast majority of browsing on Firefox.

For Chrome the setting is more involved, see http://www.thundercloud.net/infoave/...he-whole-page/
There are also some plugins to accomplish that.

Opera

Yes, many sites behave in a funny way if you use text only zoom. This is one of reasons I did not like the old Verge.com layout. For example a thin menu at the top of the page (a feature I strongly dislike) is much wider suddenly, because it not only uses much bigger font, it now has two lines. Fortunately you can enable Yesscript on many pages and get rid of many advanced features, like animated shit or floating menus that just distract.
