Opera uses the same Page zoom as 
Firefox (CTRL + and CTRL - to change 
by 100% it also uses simply + and - 
to increase/decrease by 10%).

Of course if you're using Page zoom 
then the results page for Google 
(text and/or images) is going to be 
similarly enlarged so you're 
probably going to have to scroll the 
page .
