Chromium Edge Blurry
tomscharbach Thank you. Something I find interesting is that the blur almost seems to be selective of what is blurred/fuzzy. I've included another example, this one is a bit more subtle. The top images show Outlook.com with Chromium Edge on the left and Classic Edge on the right. The Crhoming version appears lighter and fuzzier while in the Classic Edge, the text is noticably sharper and the colors more bold.
This doesn't seem to carry over on every page or website though. On the lower pictures, the text looks fine in both Chromium and Classic Edge, maybe slightly bolder in color in classic, but crisp in both. The problem for me arises in things like Outlook.com where the fuzziness actually bothers my eyes. I can't look at Outlook.com through Chromium without getting a headache.
Bradcore Outlook opens for me in outlook.live.com. In Outlook on outlook.live.com, I am getting the okay results (Edge Chromium fonts slightly greyer and thinner than either Edge Classic or Firefox, but clear enough) and no blur. I've been keeping an eye out as I wandered around in Edge Chromium today and I haven't seen the blur problem yet. I don't use Chrome, but I do use Chromium on a Linux computer, and the fonts on that computer seem to render very similarly to Edge Chromium on this computer. So I don't know. I do wish that MS would darken the font rendering in Edge Chromium -- deeper black seems more crisp to me -- but so far I haven't had the unreadability problem you seem to be encountering.
I guess that what I would do at this point is to report the problem using the Smiley face in the browser, so that it doesn't get overlooked. Something is not right with the blur problem you are reporting, and MS needs to look at it.
I'm attaching a jpg file showing my look at Outlook in the three browsers.
