It's neither trusted by the system, nor does it work well.

It's OK. But when you scroll, the magnifying effect is lost and you have to click the button again. A huge pain. Might not be so bad if you could use a key combo to enable it, but that doesn't seem possible. So if you need to scroll through a page and magnify, it becomes a slow and tedious process.

Doesn't zoom on the spot your mouse is pointing at. Hence, unusable. Would have been excellent otherwise.
