1. A system that receives content either directly from a source or through a proxy server and that is configured to implement a method for displaying the content to a user if the content has been resized such that some of the content is rendered less viewable to a user than content that has not been resized, the system including:
a processor configured to implement computer-executable instructions; and
one or more computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions that are processed by the processor for implementing a method comprising:
selecting a portion of the resized content that is displayed to the user in the user interface;
enlarging the selected portion of the resized content without enlarging other portions of the resized content, wherein enlarging the selected portion of the resized content comprises enlarging the selected portion of the resized content only if the selected portion of the resized content is smaller than a predetermined size; and
displaying the enlarged portion of the resized content to the user in the user interface, wherein the remaining resized content is not affected by displaying the enlarged portion of the content.
