How to enforce Large Text in GNOME Web?

Question

When I enable Large Text in a GNOME/Wayland desktop session it works in most applications. In GNOME Web it's a bit different:

browser chrome gets bigger
some websites get bigger (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page )
some websites stay the same (e.g. https://arstechnica.com )

I get around this in Mozilla-based browsers by setting layout.css.devPixelsPerPx which embiggers everything (ref. https://superuser.com/a/1268867)

In GNOME Web there's a GUI tool to zoom in which has the same effect, but the effect does not persist and does not get applied to all tabs/sites. How can I make it persistent and universal?

There is a direct equivalent for GNOME Web:

Open the dconf editor
Navigate to org/gnome/epiphany/web/default-zoom-level
Set the value (for example 1.25)
