Pinch Zoom in Google Maps on Safari

Google maps using safari pinch gesture does not work.

I expect pinch gestures on the trackpad of my MacBook to basically work the same as pinching the screen on my iOS device. Pinch in to zoom in, pinch out to zoom out. This works as expected on Chrome but not on Safari. Zoom in zooms in the entire page not just the map and zoom out shows you the all open tabs view. Is there a setting I can change or a workaround other than using Chrome?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Pinch Zoom in Google Maps on Safari Google maps using safari pinch gesture does not work. I expect pinch gestures on the trackpad of my MacBook Pro 13" (2019) to basically work the same as pinching the screen on my iOS device. Pinch in to zoom in, pinch out to zoom out. This works as expected on Chrome and Firefox, but not in Safari. Zoom in zooms in the entire page not just the map and zoom out shows you the all open tabs view. Is there a setting I can change or a workaround other than using Chrome or Firefox? I have feeling Apple is directing users from Safari to the Maps app. Thanks!

Zooming in and out of Maps with the mouse I have a system with a MacAlly scroll wheel mouse. When I use the scroll wheel on Maps or Find My it functions to zoom in and out of the maps. When I'm in maps.google.com the scroll function on a Magic Mouse will also zoom in and zoom out of the map. However, in Maps and Find My the scroll function on the Magic Mouse will move the maps up or down sideways but will not zoom in or zoom out. The scroll function is doing exactly the same thing as click and drag. There doesn't seem to be any way to get a zoom function on the Magic Mouse. Is this really so? Am I reduced to clicking the tiny + and - buttons to zoom in and out? Is there no way to have a zoom function on the mouse? Thanks very much.

Safari back scroll ( double finger swipe) Hey, I am using a Macbook pro m1. I am quite used to the double finger swipe to go back to the previous page on safari. Recently l, I found out that, while using Safari, I can only do the swipe while I am on the top of the webpage. If I scrolled down to middle, or the end, it will not work. I have to scroll up back to the top of the page again to go back. All the other gestures works fine. This problem persists only for safari, works fine with all other browsers. What's more weird is that, it has no problem while I am using magic mouse gestures. I dont use mouse for everyday use, if anybody has a solution please share it.
