Google Investigating Issue With Blurry Fonts on new Chrome 69 (zdnet.com)
Since the release of Chrome 69 earlier this week, countless of users have gone on social media and Google Product Forums to complain about "blurry" or "fuzzy" text inside Chrome. ZDNet: The blurred font issue isn't only limited to text rendered inside a web page, users said, but also for the text suggestions displayed inside the address bar search drop-down, and Chrome's Developer Tools panel. [...] According to reports, the issue only manifests for Chrome 69 users on Windows. Those who rolled back to Chrome 68 stopped having problems. Users said that changing Chrome, operating system, or screen DPI settings didn't help. "Our team is investigating reports of this behavior. You can find more information in this public bug report," a Google spokesperson said last night after first user complaints started surfacing online. Some users have also expressed concerns over Chrome not showing "trivial subdomains" including www and secure lock sign in the address bar.
Whats the deal with the new interface. Looks like we are back to rounded corners again.
The jokes write themselves...
Maybe they need to put on their Google Glass so they can read the fonts clearer.
"That's the way to do it" - Punch
If these are Windows users they screwed with the Compatibility Mode options for DPI in order to make the window smaller or bigger. It looked fine until Google did something differently and now the Compatibility Mode options make it look blurry. Turns out using options designed for use on legacy applications only on modern applications introduces problems. Lots of Steam users have similar problems.

Chrome has been having this problem for certain desktop users for a while now. There are workaround flags and whatnot. Just another chronic quality problem in Chrome that never gets fixed....
Maw! Fire up the karma burner!
Why is this a thing in 2018? Rendering fonts is a problem that
has been solved already - I really want a funny here, but software
(development) is getting so sad anymore - the people @ Google should
"google" regression testing - just commenting for a friend, here...
CAP === 'manifold' <<-- same one I had back on April 22, 2008
..maybe they could also roll back all rounded rectangles they added in v69. Everything is so round it feels like I designed it in my basement.
Google has been fucking up their own code and systems for over 10 years now...
Google can't help themselves but make changes for the sake of change. Chrome commands the browser market share, I really didn't think a major facelift was really needed.
On my Lenovo G570 the latest chrome also has very high CPU usage on slither.io game and the game turns into a slideshow in places with many snakes. Firefox 61 doesn't suffer from the this problem, despite the fact that its slower almost in any regard. But not this time.
they have completely broken what urls should look like and how they resolve. If you go to somedomain.www.mydomain.com it i'll be chopped off to be somedomain.mydomain.com which could be an entirely different record. What idiots do this kind of thing?
After installing ALL pages I visit are pure black. No text or graphics.
Visual cues to indicate whether or not the window is the active-window, is sooo overrated apparently...
I upgraded and I can't read it.
Good thing automobile industry evolved before it was all the rage to decide for the users what's best for them, how do drive, where to stop, etc etc. All browsers are going the wrong way of invasive overprotection... how about take a step back and force an "internet drivers license" on everyone instead.
... about this.
I remember on Survivor®, back in the day, they had a "blurry tit," problem.
They fixed that by disallowing exposed tits.
Google should remove the tits from their fonts.
It little behooves the best of us to comment on the rest of us.
So this "trivial subdomain hiding" thing... it's a crap idea right?
I found that unchecking the "Use Windows XP Style DPI scaling" box under "Set Custom Text Size (DPI)" on the Display Settings screen fixed the problem.
First of all, I really hate these thin fonts. They may look neat on hi-DPI displays but not everyone has one.
Secondly, the text on the left screen capture looks like it had its pixels hammered to the nearest pixel, which is the typical crappy-looking Microsoft anti-aliasing while the text on the right looks like normal anti-aliased text to me.

That is the ultimate 'clean' and 'modern' look, that the asshole 'designers' at Google are longing for, apparently. What a bunch of idiots. I bet none of them are over 25, and haven't a clue how to design a user interface. As for hiding subdomains, this is beyond belief. Stupidity beyond comprehension. For whom do they think they are doing this? Who wants it?
Chrome is already a piece of shit because it doesn't have a menu bar. Who needs menu bars? Just because they're the most consistent and best interface design element ever made.
That Blurry crap goes on in other browsers as well, for example the recent GMAIL interface - Bloated and blurry and you are not able to select text from subject sender etc. in the overview unless you switch to basic HTML and then you loose other functionality..
Khazar Talmudic Jews believe this of all they call goyim/gentiles (any non-jew): Jews = biggest racists of all (for which they "jew guilt" you for no less! They're hypocrites known as thieves all thru history or were Argentines in the 1940 under Peron, Spanish inquistion, France (1306), Egypt (despoiled/robbed by jews), Arabs (pre & post 1948), England (1330 Edward longshanks), Romans under titus, Russia pogroms and Germany who got rid of them from their nations nazi german's too? No. Driven into DESERTS ages ago! Don't wonder why after all those exilings above.
Should anyone doubt any of this see Jacob Javits' crony Rosenthal spill the beans on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4zMVZ8HnFI/ where he called all Christianity fools for helping Israel and the biggest scam of all time per their beliefs below from their Talmud.
This is the province of the synagogue of Satan (Pharisees whom Jesus Christ himself kicked to the curb out of the temple & they killed him for it. Jeremiah did the same to them also + the Essenes could not stand them either breaking away from the pharisee corruption):
Jew Talmud excerpts (the book that calls Christ's mother a whore & a bastard of a roman soldier):
1. Sanhedrin 59a: "Murdering Goyim is like killing a wild animal."
2. Abodah Zara 26b: "Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed."
3. Sanhedrin 59a: "A goy (Gentile) who pries into The Law (Talmud) is guilty of death."
4. Yebhamoth 11b: "Sexual intercourse with a little girl is permitted if she is three years of age."
5. Schabouth Hag. 6d: "Jews may swear falsely by use of subterfuge wording."
6. Hilkkoth Akum X1: "Do not save Goyim in danger of death."
7. Hilkkoth Akum X1: "Show no mercy to the Goyim."
8. Choschen Hamm 388, 15: "If it can be proven that someone has given the money of Israelites to the Goyim, a way must be found after prudent consideration to wipe him off the face of the earth."
9. Choschen Hamm 266,1: "A Jew may keep anything he finds which belongs to the Akum (Gentile). For he who returns lost property (to Gentiles) sins against the Law by increasing the power of the transgressors of the Law. It is praiseworthy, however, to return lost property if it is done to honor the name of God, namely, if by so doing, Christians will praise the Jews and look upon them as honorable people."
10. Szaaloth-Utszabot, The Book of Jore Dia 17: "A Jew should and must make a false oath when the Goyim asks if our books contain anything against them."
11. Baba Necia 114, 6: "The Jews are human beings, but the nations of the world are not human beings but beasts."
12. Simeon Haddarsen, fol. 56-D: "When the Messiah comes every Jew will have 2800 slaves."
13. Nidrasch Talpioth, p. 225-L: "Jehovah created the non-Jew in human form so that the Jew would not have to be served by beasts. The non-Jew is consequently an animal in human form, and condemned to serve the Jew day and night."
14. Aboda Sarah 37a: "A Gentile girl who is three years old can be violated."
15. Gad. Shas. 2:2: "A Jew may violate but not marry a non-Jewish girl."
16. Tosefta. Aboda Zara B, 5: "If a goy kills a goy or a Jew, he is responsible; but if a Jew kills a goy, he is NOT responsible."
17. Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 388: "It is permitted to kill a Jewish denunciator everywhere. It is permitted to kill him even before he denounces."
18. Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 348: "All property of other nations belongs to the Jewish nation, which, consequently, is entitled to seize upon it without any scruples."
19. Tosefta, Abda Zara VIII, 5: "How to interpret the word 'robbery.' A goy is forbidden to steal, rob, or take women slaves, etc., from a goy or from a Jew. But a Jew is NOT forbidden to do all this to a goy."
20. Seph. Jp., 92, 1: "God has given the Jews power over the possessions and blood of all nations."
21. Schulchan Aruch, Choszen
On my install that is exactly what they are doing. For a couple of minutes at least, until the "unresponsive page" dialog pops up. Then after another couple of minutes the page eventually loads. I found it easier to download Firefox using IE though, than waiting for all the timeouts using Chrome.
I had a colleague having chrome flash black periodically while redlining the GPU, which was an intel HD internal type GPU. They definitely borked something bad, because I had to turn off acceleration to make his chrome usable.
