Improve font rendering to be on par with Firefox or at least original Edge
Thin font rendering, and lower-contrast font color are the main reasons I won't use Chromium-based browsers. I have trouble seeing low contrast things, and I despise software and websites that do it on purpose.
I currently use Firefox on Windows 10.
Dean72 Do you run Windows? If so, MS Edge works in high-contrast mode. For more details, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13862/windows-10-use-high-contrast-mode

Is this even on the radar of MS?
After this much time, it would seem MS would either fix it in an update, or provide the courtesy of detailed instructions for a work around using someone else's product.
I am sure many others like me want to know if there is something forth-coming, or if we should switch browsers.
- Dean72Feb 14, 2020Brass ContributorThanks Deleted, but I don't need high-contrast, my eyesight isn't that bad. I edited my post above to show that the reason I use Firefox and not any Chromium browser, is because I like the font-rendering on Firefox. Chromium browsers on Windows have a thin/somewhat faint/jagged font rendering, and the color is fainter/less-contrast than Firefox.
