How to make screen zoom little bit less terrible

desktopsnow leopardzoom

You know how you zoom-in whole screen with your magic-trackpad + ctrl + 2fingers in snow leopard?

The result is not-so-nice-looking screen. You can see pixels and basically the resolution is crapy… how do I fix that?

There is no way of fixing that. It is magnifying the screen, not a true resolution independent zoom, so as things magnify they will appear blocky.

Ugh, this is so annoying -- it is the height of designer/developer arrogance (in my opinion -- and I'm a developer myself). The other answer's code did not work for me, but after much experimenting I got this to work (iPad 3/iOS 5):

javascript:document.querySelector('meta[name=viewport]').setAttribute('content','width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=10.0,user-scalable=1');

Use the same method as the other answer says to add it (create a bookmark for any page, then edit the bookmark and replace its URL with the above code).

I'd say hold ⌥+⌘+–. In fact, holding ⌥+⌘+8 will disable it, but once you press it again, it comes back to the old level, therefore ⌥+⌘+– seems the best solution.
