    Hi Aaron,

    Thank you for sharing your question. I understand how annoying it is when your browser looks too big, even when you've set the zoom to 100%. The reason this happens is that the tab bar and favorites bar are controlled by your browser's own settings and your Windows display settings, not just the zoom for websites. I am here to help.

    Basically, zoom only changes how big the website looks. The tab and favorites bars depend on your Windows display scaling and a compact mode in the browser.

    Here's how to fix it

    Check Windows Display Settings Right-click on your desktop, go to Display settings, and make sure the Scale is at 100% and the resolution is set to what's recommended.

    In Microsoft Edge, turn on Compact Mode Go to Settings, then Appearance, then Customize toolbar, and turn on Use compact mode (if you see it).

    If you have Edge Canary or Beta, you could also try using Vertical Tabs or hiding the Favorites bar to get more space.

    Restart your browser after you make these changes.

     

    I hope this helps.

     

    Best Regards,

    Noel
