Hi, between Internet Explorer. Microsoft Edge, Safari, Google Chrome and Opera, all of them in the last version, which you preffer in order to zoom images, mainly in 175%, more or less.

Amend your thread title, word 'best' is frowned upon here (see rules, daft as they are).
I suggest that you choose the one(browser) that you like.

I don't know why anyone would look to a web browser as an epitome of image scaling.

Wouldn't they pass the job through to the OS, anyway?

FWIW, an analysis how various browsers resize images can be found here:

...and yes, please edit thread title in accordance with our forum rules.

Yeah, "best" was ugly! But I was almost sleeping, so forgive me. I wondered about upscaling in browsers because I use the Google Chrome, ever in most recent release, for zooming photos I`ve done upscaling on that, using algorithms such nnedi3, spline 144, etc. Zoom is a special area of upscaling, then my question makes sense! The photo visualizer of Windows 7 is terrible for this, and the Photoshop cc 2015`s zoom isn`t good as well. The link you sent to me is about browser resizers, but talks about old versions. Those algorithms are present in new releases?

Ur question is like, "why is that painter accessory from the OS like a piece of shit compared to Photoshop?"
