Description Julien Chaffraix 2015-11-09 18:43:41 UTC 
IE and Edge, Chrome / Opera and Safari support the property but there is no standard definition of how it should behave.

Example about a bug inquiring about the behavior: https://crbug.com/549809

Are there any statistics on how popular this property is with values other than '1' (which was used in the olden days to work around an IE6-7 hasLayout bug) ?
Comment 2 Julien Chaffraix 2015-12-04 01:50:11 UTC 
This doesn't answer the question but Blink measure the usage of 'zoom'. There has been a definite downwards trend over the past years:

Unfortunately we don't have a more specialized counter for the value but we could track the used value fairly easily (I don't think we could hook into the parser easily though).
