Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I need to zoom out the current browser window to 80%, I can do it from chrome menu zoom manually, but cannot do it via MCP server prompt
Describe the solution you'd like
to do this by prompt directly, such as zoom out to 80%

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have tried similar prompt, it uses javascript document.body.style.zoom=80%, the result is not the same as chrome zoom out function, not good enough to fill in all my page content

Additional context
Other alternatives should be good as well

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start with the MCP server prompt path and investigate how Chrome menu zoom differs from document.body.style.zoom; done means a prompt can set the current Chrome browser window to a value such as 80% with the same effect as Chrome's native zoom.
