The Question

Superuser peruser Shadow Wizard needs to know why the content size on all sites has all of a sudden expanded while utilizing Google Chrome: 

Toward the beginning of today I opened Google Chrome as I do consistently. The content size was abruptly bigger than ordinary on all sites, yet I didn't change any settings at all. 

On the off chance that I set the zoom level to 90 percent, it looks fine, yet this breaks different things, (for example, Stack Exchange talk), so I would want to maintain a strategic distance from it if conceivable. Setting the text dimension to little in Chrome's settings additionally helps, yet then the content size is excessively little. 

I have uninstalled Chrome (erasing nearby information) and introduced it once more, however the results are the same. I likewise attempted the beta channel also, yet no change. My Windows 7 framework is 64-bit with the showcase set at 125 percent from the earliest starting point (something that I have not changed for a considerable length of time). 

What could have brought on this and by what method would it be able to be unraveled? 

This very question on Superuser ends up being a decent illustration of exhibiting what I mean:
