I need to have scaling set to, ideally, 150% on my desktop so that I'm able to read the screen. Already changed font to Roboto (a great suggestions) and am using System Font Changer to read Explorer, menus etc. So I can see everything. But with these settings the Chrome banner (similar for other browsers) is much too large and takes up a lot of vertical real estate. It's frustrating to say the least.

Does anyone know a way to resize the banner? I'm speaking of tabs, url/extensions and bookmark bar. A long long time ago Firefox had some "compact themes" which were automatically designed to preserve vertical space. But that was then....
Thanks

If you scale back to 125% or 100% you can adjust the size of your text. It will even increase the text size within the settings menu.

Yes, I can make the chrome text larger. However, I have other apps such as eMclient email and WPS Office that adhere quite closely to the Windows font and size.
Thanks for the idea but I'm looking to keep the display size if at all possible.
