I think Chrome renders fonts in a slighty more ugly and less legible way than Firefox does.

Don't you agree?
>>
>>52013232
For me left side one looks better.
Is it chrome or Firefox ?
>>
>>52013251

This isn't a thread where opinions can't be wrong. Yours is wrong.

Left side seems to have gone over board on the anti-aliasing.
>>
>>52013293

Can you fix this shit?
>>
>>52013426
Well, I use Firefox so I don't have to deal with it.
>>
>>52013436

Well, I wish I could use Firefox, but Mozilla seems intent on punishing me for using it the way I want to, with every update.
>>
Just checked and my fonts are rendered equally well on Firefox and Otter browser (blink backend).
>>
>>52013452
It's still usable. I imagine I will have to switch to Palemoon soon, but I'll think about it when I have to.
>>
This is because Chrome doesn't have access to the OS's font rending services due to it's sandbox.
So it has to do all rendering including font rendering inside its little sandboxed renderer.
Chromes internal font renderer is dogshit.

Every other browser has the ability to use to operating systems font rendering, and that is what they do.
This is why Firefox has better font rendering.
>>
>>52013467
>It's still usable.

Not the way I want to use it. I don't want to have to resort to using addons to undo every little thing that they fuck up for me every update. Especially now, that they've started messing with what addons I'm allowed to use, in addition to removing a bunch of widely used options in about:config.
>>
>>52013498
Well, you switched to chrome which is not configurable at all...
>>
>>52013481
Thanks for explaining it m8
Glad someone did before the thread becomes a shitfest about sjw and whatnot

But at least I know what I'm getting. And also, for some reason, full screen video under Firefox looks washed out for me. So there's that.

Pic using HTML5 on youtube. Top is Firefox, bottom is Chrome.

>>52013481

Thanks. Here's hoping it stops sucking sometime in the future.
>>
>>52013293
Can someone please explain me why there is this color? Why is it not just a black T?
>>
>>52013569
change your system settings for video. video shouldn't have to do anything with your browser anyway. also why not open the video with mpv?
>>
>>52013593

I shouldn't have to. It'll fuck up other things. And it does have something to do with my browser, when running in my browser.

And no, I won't be using mpv. Christ.
>>

anti-aliasing
>>
>>52013580
White pixel is represented by three small red, green and blue pixels on your monitor. So three small vertical subpixels, blue, green and red in that order on your monitor look like one white pixel. And so green, red and blue subpixels should also like white, and you can achieve that effect by using two pixels on screen (and 6 subpixels). But, of course, when you upscale the picture, subpixels disappear and it just looks weird.

Just kill yourself
>>
>>52013569
The difference is staggering, if it's actually the same frame (is it? I don't think it is).
>>
>>52013614
so you want to have different video settings for every program? do you think this is a good thing? are you mentally challenged?
>>
>>52013232
Overall Firefox's rendering has always been better and more "neutral"
>>
>>52013791
>Flash

I said it was HTML5. I don't have Flash installed.

>>hates mpv

I don't. I just don't want to use it for no good reason.

>>52013804
> if it's actually the same frame

It doesn't matter. This is consistent.
>>
>>52013569

>>52013827

Yes. There is no such thing as one setting fits all. That's cancer.

>>52013861

>>
>>52013853
>opening a full webpage+video is better than right-click> open with mpv
sure thing faggot
>>
>>52013868
firefox video depends on your system settings, if your system settings are shit, your color accuracy will be bad in all applications that are not retarded. in chrome you will have inaccurate colors no matter what settings you use for your system.
>>
>>52013875

Why are you being so unreasonable? Some people don't want to use third-party programs for things that should work in first-party.
>>
>>52013895

I use exactly two applications for video. One of them, is finely tuned. I'm not going to fuck that up with system wide settings.
>>
>>52013897
he said there is no good reason to use mpv, less bandwith usage is always better than more. also MPVs video capabilities are great by default and you can make them even better.
>>52013906
you could have just tuned them system wide exactly one time and it would work in every program if the program is not garbage, how would this be worse in any way than one browser that has inaccurate color no matter what you do?

You made me go and check it myself.

Color differences you're showing like that are not present, but firefox version seems to be missing some details. I wonder if they are even playing the same file.

And, yes, turns out those are two different files. Firefox is playing mp4, Chrome is is playing webm.
>>
>>52014014

I'm just saying that you need to relax and stop defending Firefox and attacking people who don't have a reason to use your preferred program.
>>
>>52014017
use youtube-dl to download the same format and play them through both chrome and firefox if you want to test it for your system. (firefox depends on your systems video settings, catalyst for amd, nvidia control panel for nvidia)
