chrome overall font rendering issue 2016
I encountered a similar problem last night when I updated my Chromium-based Browser (Vivaldi). Text, especially certain colors or text against certain backgrounds, looked horrible. It looked jagged, unnatural or sometimes blurry. Luckily, I've rectified the issue:
- Type chrome://flags in the url bar and hit enter.
- Enable DirectWrite if you still have it disabled.
- Scroll down to LCD text antialiasing and select Enabled.
- Relaunch the browser.
Text should now appear crisp and smooth.
Resetting all chrome flags to default fixed this for me. I must have done something "iffy" in the past that I couldn't remember.
If by chance you're using Chrome/Firefox on Windows 10, I found the fix!
Control panel > Fonts > Adjust Clear Type
Follow the instructions and bam! All fonts on all browsers are clear and no longer jagged or blurry. :-)
On Chrome 60.0.3112.113, in chrome://flags I set "Accelerated 2D canvas" to Disabled and this fixed the issue for me
