dat blurry font
back to firefox my friends

Consider installing an OS with proper font rendering.

linux? LOL

Chrome doesn't use OS font rendering. If it did, it wouldn't be blurry unlike the rest of the system.

>chrome is so shitty
>back to my chrome with a skin browser!
>>
>>51494553
Whenever I'm on Windows some fonts in Chrome seem a lot thinner (and shittier) then while on Linux.
>>
>>51494564
Firefox is the one that isn't Chrome with a skin. It's based on Gecko and other code derived from Netscape. Chrome is derived from Apple Webkit, which comes from KDE's KHTML.

maybe i should just use opera

Enjoy your botnet.

Si.
Chrome probably doesn't use OS font rendering but I always see a significant different between the linux and windows version of chrome broswer.
>>
>>51494698
*That* is Chrome with a skin.

I also notice a difference in memory use. The Linux one gobbles up 4 GB quite quickly.

I actually feel like the windows version uses more memory.

Nice blog

nobody cares

IE11 doesn't use normal font rendering either. No ClearType, text looks slightly blurrier than the rest of the OS. Meanwhile Firefox text looks just like the stuff in dialog boxes, the start menu, etc.
>>
>>51495028
IE11 uses the new greyscale-only rendering. ClearType is deprecated.
>>
>>51495053
>ClearType is deprecated.
Fucking why? Are we moving back to CRTs?

Yet again MS is committing the same sin they did with Windows 8 -- "everything is a phone, phones have high DPI displays and don't need ClearType". Back in the real world, a large potion of the PC market is still desktop and will stay that way for quite some time. It's just not practical to do a lot of business stuff on a phone or tablet. And on normal desktop monitors, things look gorgeous with ClearType and ugly with Win10 style grayscale rendering.
>>
>>51494643
While this is true, design-wise, Firefox is slowly becoming another Chrome. It used to be great but they are deprecating or removing everything that made it different.
>>
>>51495415
Yeah. For now I've got updates set to alert but prompt before installing. If one comes down that removes something good like NPAPI, XUL or tab groups, I'll nix the update, use it as is for a while and then probably go to Pale Moon.

the fuck are you on chromium looks completely fine on linux

and im using a fucking OSX font
