Description of the new feature / enhancement

Not sure if this exists... current windows settings do not allow below 100%. Looking for a way to shrink the size of windows on an oversized monitor to the size of what is a normal size on a 19"-22" monitor.

EXAMPLE: On my 43" monitor (not ultrawide) it would be nice to seperate the screen into 4, to simulate 4 x 20" monitors. Currently I cant find a way to size them correctly and all rendered data is a bit large to be useful considering the size of the windows borders, texts, searchbars...etc.

Scenario when this would be used?

Using multiple browser windows at one time. The space on the larger monitors is great but the window size is often overkill even on modified configurations. Mainly because when you size the window, the text, search bar and borders all stay the same size and in the Display settings the least allowed sizing is 100%.

@303dog are you asking for more snap zones or are you asking for everything to scale smaller? /needinfo
