How to magnify in Chrome without scaling the page?

How do I magnify/zoom in the page in Chrome without changing the scale of the page. The built-in Ctrl,+ and Ctrl,- change the scale of the page to provide the zoom effect, but I only want to magnify the page without affecting the scale.

On laptops and phones you can use pinch/expand gestures to change magnification. (Unless restricted via the viewport meta tag.) So I know it's possible to magnify, but how do I do it on PC where I don't have a touch pad to recognize gestures?

If you are on a Windows PC, then use the magnifier. Press Win++ to turn it on, Win+ESC to turn it off.

Note that it works globally not just Chrome.

OR

You can install Magnifying Glass (Hover Zoom) an extension

that enables you to magnify a portion of a webpage with click of a button. Press on the toolbar button to see the magnifying glass on the current page.
