Pinch Zoom Behavior Changed in Edge After Update – Need Help!

Hi everyone,

I updated my Edge browser yesterday, and I've noticed a change with the pinch and zoom functionality on my laptop’s trackpad. Previously, I could pinch and zoom without affecting the page’s Zoom %—the percentage would only increase if I pressed Ctrl + pinch and zoom. However, after the update, simply pinching and zooming now increases the page’s Zoom %.

This behavior doesn’t occur in Chrome, so it seems to be isolated to Edge after the recent update. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any advice on how to restore the previous behavior?

Thanks in advance for your help!

    I've noticed the same and it's maddening!
    If there's no easy fix I'll have to ditch edge for another browser.
