> Some users even disable all ClearType rendering and anti-aliasing, claiming that it reduces eyestrain and that anti-aliasing damages eyesight. It’s kind of like anti-vaxxing (hello from 2019 if you are reading this in the future).
I hope the anti-vaxxing comparison is only for the "eyesight damage" part, otherwise this paragraph is bullshit in its entirety. From my own personal experience, i vastly prefer antialising disabled, assuming that there fonts used have hinting available that support it. Or even better, bitmap fonts made to be clean and crisp (as opposed to just being rasterized versions of vector fonts). Of course if you try to use fonts that disregard hinting and aren't compatible (or even tested at all) with antialiasing disabled, like the font the author's site uses which looks like total crap on my PC, then, yeah, compared to that i prefer AA with CT.
I find annoying that you need to mess with the registry to disable antialiasing in Windows 10, but at least the option is still there.
