Is there some way of achieving that as a default setting. I was able to do that in opera by editing opera.ini, but in microb?

(haven't found any thread discussing that)
1. Open browser. In address bar type

about:config

2. In 'Set Preference' group, in Name textbox type

font.minimum-size.x-western

type the font size you want in the value (next) box

3. Save new string by pressing 'Set Preference' button.
A value of 20 will give you about 120% but may rearrange some web sites so the text runs together.

On those sites you would simply use the hardware button to reduce to 80% of your new value. However 80% may still not be enough. Overall I found 18 was a pretty good compromise

You might need to get a warm-up for that cuppa after hitting "save preferences"

You know it "took" when the about:config page refreshes with your new size.
