I'm one of those who rarely uses Firefox. I have it installed, but Google is just to integrated in my life. Gmail, Drive, YouTube, Android, etc. Now, I just launched Firefox (on Windows), and the fonts look absolutely atrocious compared to Chrome. What's up with that? Edit: "gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.enhanced_contrast 0" made it a lot better, but not quite as nice a Chrome. Still a whole lot better than the default setting.

Google is just to integrated in my life. Gmail, Drive, YouTube I use these all day too and they work perfectly on FF for me. I know there was the recent "5 second YT delay on FF" debacle. But, I actually have a paid YT subscription, so I never saw/see it. Now, I just launched Firefox (on Windows), and the fonts look absolutely atrocious compared to Chrome. Something I've noticed is that when you spend enough time looking at one style of font rendering, the others look "wrong" and I think that's what you're experiencing. Used to see this a lot with Mac and Windows in the pre retina/hidpi days. Users switching from one to the other would be shocked at how "wrong" the fonts were. In reality, neither one was "right" or "wrong" but they sure were different. FWIW FF and Chrome's fonts both look fine to me on Windows 10 but again, that's just my purely subjective view.
