Please state what the intended limits are, so I can double-check you did it right ;-)

This comment confused me. Maybe say 'remove redundant preventDefault calls'

If we want 6 zoom levels, this should be 2.2. Right? 1 + (.2 * 6) = 2.2

> +    const minimumZoom = 0.6;

For 3 zoom levels, it should be 0.4.

The intended limits are what look good to my eye and roughly matched Safari. I added a comment to the ChangeLog.

I think its more important to have a good zoom then have 6 levels. Safari went up to 3, so I felt 2.4 was better than 2.2 in terms of comparing the two.

I think 0.6 was already looking super small. Our UI starts to break at the seems at this zoom level. Going smaller didn't seem useful.
