    Since   the  [1]release  of  Chrome  69  earlier  this  week  ,\r
    countless  of  users  have  gone  on  social  media  and Google\r
    Product  Forums  to  [2]complain about "blurry" or "fuzzy" text\r
    inside Chrome . ZDNet:\r
    \r
    >  The  blurred  font issue isn't only limited to text rendered\r
    inside   a  web  page,  users  said,  but  also  for  the  text\r
    suggestions  displayed inside the address bar search drop-down,\r
    and   Chrome's   Developer  Tools  panel.  [...]  According  to\r
    reports,  the  issue  only  manifests  for  Chrome  69 users on\r
    Windows.  Those  who  rolled  back  to Chrome 68 stopped having\r
    problems.  Users  said  that changing Chrome, operating system,\r
    or  screen DPI settings didn't help. "Our team is investigating\r
    reports  of  this  behavior.  You  can find more information in\r
    this  public bug report," a Google spokesperson said last night\r
    after first user complaints started surfacing online.\r
    \r
    Some  users  have  also  expressed  concerns  over  Chrome  not\r
    showing  [3]"trivial  subdomains" including www and secure lock\r
    sign in the address bar.\r

     If these are Windows users they screwed with the Compatibility\r

     bigger. It looked fine until Google did something differently\r

        Wrong. I use the standard DPI settings for the whole screen\r
        (1.5x on my 27" 4K screen), which only works with programs\r
        that are DPI-aware. It's true that I didn't notice the blurry\r
        fonts until I saw the headline, but I really just thought I\r
        was that tired (I've only had 69 for about a day). At least\r

              If it looks significantly worse, it could also have\r
              nothing at all to do with the bug - Chrome is DPI aware\r
              and should never have that enabled. Especially since\r

        The problem is there are three ways to tweak the DPI.\r
        Compatibility Mode, which can be set on a per-app basis.\r
        Display scaling, which is set via the Windows desktop and\r
        affects everything. And Advanced Scaling which Microsoft\r
        introduced with the Spring Creators Update, which I haven't\r
        figured out exactly how it's different from the regular\r
        Display Scaling.\r
        \r
        Under the hood, there's also ClearType which runs on top of\r
        DPI scaling, and does [1]subpixel rendering  [grc.com] (using\r
        the individual red, green, and blue subp\r

           Looking at some zoomed in screenshots, I think they're\r
           scaling the subpixel rendering itself (which should never\r
           happen). There is no reason to have red or blue tint on\r
           anything but the outermost pixel, but looking at my\r
           screenshot close up I'm seeing two side-by-side bluish or\r
           reddish pixels.\r

        Even on Chrome 69 on my multi-DPI work setup I have to turn\r

        Nope, I have a Windows VM that's essentially stock that I use\r
        for a couple applications. I had Chrome open in it earlier\r
        today, and noticed that the fonts were blurry and were giving\r
        me a headache after a few minutes of use. I thought maybe it\r
        was something with RDP messing it up, but after I read this,\r
        I logged in again and verified that the fuzzy fonts are only\r
        in Chrome. All other applications are fine.\r

        Windows apps have blurry text no matter what settings we try.\r

     First of all, I really hate these thin fonts. They may look neat\r

     Secondly, the text on the left screen capture looks like it had\r
