I, like many here, prefer the original on the left both in my browser (Firefox 27 on Windows 8) and in the example you linked.
Most notably, to my eye, the text on the right has unappealing kerning changes.
A concrete example, visible in the screen-shot you linked: look at the words "little three" at the top right of the second paragraph. In the original rendering, the space between the pair of 't's and the 't' and 'h' pair is correct. In the modified rendering on the right, there is an excess pixel between the pair of 't's and the 't' and 'h' pair.
Uneven spacing of letters is one of the reasons I am unhappy when I use Chrome, since it still doesn't support DirectWrite on Windows [1].
