Author here — I apologize for that; it's on my short list of things to fix.

I actually hadn't fully understood that the "Ctrl+" zoom in desktop browsers shrinks the viewport rather than doing an actual zoom (unlike pinch-to-zoom on a touch device) until I had put the media queries in place — whoops.

----

As an aside, you or another might be interested: you can configure Firefox to do a "pinch-zoom" style zoom when you do "Ctrl+scrollwheel" on the mouse:

Short version: set "mousewheel.with_control.action = 5" in about:config.

Longer discussion: https://www.tenforums.com/browsers-email/204202-firefox-enab...

That way, you can always zoom with confidence that a site won't rejigger its layout as a result.

(but obviously I'll update my rules to make the default behavior better, too)

This is fixed now, for the record (:

Thank you!
