Most websites have a small default letter size. If I change zoom level with Ctrl++, does it happen entirely on my computer?
I know window size shouldn't be changed for anonymity reasons.

Update due to users comment and clarification:
to be accurate, you asked 2 different questions:
- If I change zoom level with Ctrl++, does it happen entirely on my computer?
yes, zooming should be done entirely on your computer (like the normal rendering), but i'm not sure if it can be used afterwards to "increase your uniqueness".... - Can I change the zoom level in tor browser (without affecting anonymity)?
no, it seems that the zoom level can be used to "increase your uniqueness"!

1If you need to zoom in on text, you might consider using a desktop application like the GNOME Zoom options: help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y-mag.html this should avoid being detectable from inside the browser, at the cost of being slightly less well integrated into the browser in general.
