Zooming??

In DU3 we could zoom in on images (like cartoons that have notoriously small print). It seems DU4 does not have this capability, at least not right now. Can this functionality be added somehow?

I used to be able to two finger pinch wide and slim the pages that allowed me to zoom in and read without my glasses or read impossibly small text on pictures and cartoons.

Now I have to open pics in a background tab to be able to enlarge them and read them. I'm using DU3 for now for that and may as well just stay there until the "bugs" are worked out with DU4.

I'm able to pinch and zoom in on images on my phone. What device are you using to view DU?

We'll try a solution during the next round of bug fixes.
