Couldn't find an option for this anywhere. Seems redundant to add zoom buttons to the screen when the option you're enabling is to pinch to zoom.

I don't like them either, but unfortunately, the zooming in Android WebView doesn't work properly when they are hidden.

It's possible they are no longer necessary in future, if someone in the WebView dev team pays attention to this. At least a redesign would be long overdue...

The workaround I've been using for the time being is to switch away (to another app or to home screen) then switch back. The zoom buttons then hide after a second, allowing you to select items on the page that were previously blocked by the zoom buttons. The zoom buttons do come back if you scroll or zoom, though.

+1 on that, they're quite annoying

Maybe make it as a feature toggle if you don't need zooming at all?
