The only thing unique to Firefox that I really miss about in other browsers is the ability to zoom text only and leave images untouched. It will break layouts but I prefer my pictures crisp. I wish any other browser implemented it but no such luck.

It could be implemented as simply as having site/tab specific minimum text size option that could be bound to ctrl+mouse wheel.

Vivaldi has a setting for limiting the minimum font size under Settings > Webpages > Fonts (screenshot: https://cl.ly/1h2N0Y3a3w0s).

Is that what you mean? You can set the font to max 24pt (on macOS anyway) and images are untouched.

Yes, but site specific and so that I can adjust it on the fly. Sometimes I read in poor light and posture, needing larger text, sometimes I go for default sizes. Just like scaling on the fly but for the minimum font size. It's like Firefox is able to operate... for now.
