What I do is set my text size to huge. That way, the zoomed out full screen browser is fully readable without the need to zoom in. And since it keeps the full page formatted, you never have to navigate left or right to see the rest of the page (when I'm in forums, I can see the poster's name for each post without having to move the screen to the right and back). Now it's more of a desktop browser experience, because I only scroll up and down. If there is a tiny link or two tiny links next to each other, I double tap to zoom for those. This also lets me surf the net one-handed.
There are some pages here and there that get a little garbled due to the huge text, but it is 99% perfectly usable.
