- How to Change Text Size in Safari:

• Open Safari OS X.


• Create a new bookmark in your bookmark bar


• Right click the bookmark and click edit address


• In the address box, put <code>javascript:var p=document.getElementsByTagName('*');for(i=0;i<p.length;i++){if(p[i].style.fontSize){var s=parseInt(p[i].style.fontSize.replace("px",""));}else{var s=12;}s+=2;p[i].style.fontSize=s+"px"}</code>as the URL, and then name the bookmark what you want.


• Rinse and repeat, this time using <code>javascript:var p=document.getElementsByTagName('*');for(i=0;i<p.length;i++){if(p[i].style.fontSize){var s=parseInt(p[i].style.fontSize.replace("px",""));}else{var s=12;}s-=2;p[i].style.fontSize=s+"px"}</code>


• The first bookmark will let you increase the text size in Mobile Safari, and the second bookmark will shrink it again.


• Now, make sure you're syncing your bookmarks across your devices, and voila, a bookmarklet that lets you change textsizes in Mobile Safari.
