I really want to switch to Firefox. I don't need it to be better-performing than Chrome on my work PC or Safari on my home machine - I want to support free software. But Firefox's text just looks bad, like really bad. On both a retina Mac screen and 24" 1080p monitors on Windows at work, the fonts look pixelated and blurry, like there's something around the edges of the characters. Contrast seems off too, much lower than Chrome or Safari presents text, which makes it hard to read. PDFs in the browser are especially awful to look at. Has anyone else had this experience and found a fix?
- asadotzler 7y agoCan you share some screenshots? IMO, text looks somewhat better in Firefox than in other browsers.
- sound1 7y agoSame thoughts! Firefox is MUCH better at font rendering in my experience. (Also MUCH faster with uBlock Origin and uMatrix)
