Zoom in a webpage by using two fingers on the touchpad

[Aposof]

On windows when I used two fingers to zoom in and out it worked and it zoomed into any webpage I was at. Here at linux this doesn't work. Maybe someone can help me enable such a feature?

Since you gave virtually zero information on your hardware, or OS, the best I can do is point you to this thread giving detail on how to get touch screen working in linux.
Touch screen instructions begin after figure 5.

I use an HP laptop, its model is 14s-fq0003nv. It does not have a touch screen, I am talking about touchpad finger gestures.

What happens if you hold down the CTRL button while you pinch?

That's unfortunate. I was optimistic because I really didn't want to share this link with you.

Yeah... That's for Ubuntu and will be the same for the derivatives and likely even Debian.

You don't have the exact same model, but they should be similar enough for something there to get you running and gesturing.

Should...

CTRL + Two finger Scroll up or down does it.

Nope, two fingers up and down scroll the page, not zoom.
