A little admiration of how easy UI customization is on Firefox, and how shitty Chromium looks.

    No offence, but I used to think Windows had good font rendering while I was using it. That was until I started using Linux distros. Now every time I boot into Windows, I again remember how awful Windows looks in comparison - washed out, pixelated, gives me eye strain…

      never in my years of using Linux have I ever thought that it was rendered clearer. let’s be honest with ourselves, no need to lie.

        It’s a function of PPI, hinting settings, font face, etc. The both of you can be correct in your own right…

        Objectively there is a long history font rendering issues under linux though, so… eh.

      Linux’s looks more blurry to me, Window’s is much sharper. Maybe at different resolutions it changes though, you need less aliasing at higher res.

        I have the inverse - where Windows is so fine and pixelated it looks blurry. Linux is sharp and legible. It may be to do with with sub-pixel rendering. And this has been the case for across multiple computers and laptops, windows versions and Linux distros.
