How do I reduce the size of a website in my browser?

Hello,

I would be grateful for some advice, please.

A few websites I visit frequently have become much larger in the viewing screen of my browser.

I'd welcome any tips on how I can reduce the size of a website so I can view more of it within the screen.

Thank you in advance.

    I use Firefox and IE7 and when I hold down Ctrl and roll my mouse's wheel, depending if it's forewards or reverse it enlarges the site or reduces.

    Holding down ctrl and then pressing "+" or "-" (plus or minus) has the same effect :)

    Ctrl + 0 will reset the screen to its original size as well.

    And if you Ctrl + 1, 2, 3, 4 etc, you can switch between tabs easily (on Firefox anyway, don't know about IE, Chrome etc).

    thank you for the great advice.

    the only thing is... when I resize one website, it changes the size on all the others too.

    for example, I was happy with other sites but one in particular was tool large. I did the 'control' / mouse wheel trick to resize it, but when I returned to the other sites, they too had been changed.

    Ideally, I'd like only one site to change when I alter it individually.

    thank you again.
