    2020WebKit supports (at least) the following types of zooms and scales:
    2121
    22 || '''Name''' || '''Ratio''' || '''Changes viewport size (in logical pixels)''' || '''Exposed directly to web content''' ||
     22|| '''Name''' || '''Ratio''' || '''Changes CSS viewport size''' || '''Exposed directly to web content''' ||
    2323|| Device Scale || Physical pixel : Logical pixel || No || Yes - window.devicePixelRatio, CSS media queries ||
    2424|| Page scale || Logical pixel : CSS pixel || No || No ||

    33 Page scale is used to implement zooming gestures.  This is typically done in conjunction with using a porthole/virtual viewport model where the viewport that the user sees is a subset of the viewport as exposed to the web page.  Page scale affects the virtual viewport, not the CSS viewport, so layout is, generally speaking, not impacted by a changing page scale.  Fixed position elements are an exception to this - they are often rooted to the virtual viewport and not the CSS viewport.  This behavior is not well defined and there are many behavior differences between different ports.
