Safari sometimes zooms way too large

How can I stop Safari from zooming in way too large to be useable? This is something that just recently started happening, so it's probably due to a recent update. This is what my screen looks like sometimes:

THank you, but this doesn't work either. The pages are mostly displaying normally, but sometimes they pop up extra, extra large. This is especially troublesome. This page, for example, is normal. If I bring up many pages, they may all be normal, but then maybe the next is shown gigantic. If I didn't have to use for work, it wouldn't bother me as much, but it seems that one of the gigantic pages is what I must use for work.

I had this problem also. Can't remember which of these gestures worked so try a few combinations & see if it works: when in extreme zoom, tap screen twice with three fingers, then swipe to the right... try three taps w/3 fingers+ swipe... two taps w/2 or 3 fingers... it was one of those. I discovered it by accident, took awhile to figure it out... I'm thinking there's a setting somewhere, an accessability setting or something, that I changed and then checked again (I'd had the master zoom setting off, too) that the zoom setting was off.


i know this sounds nuts but it's worth a try, isn't it? Hope it works.
