Improve font rendering to be on par with Firefox or at least original Edge
Deleted
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.

I suspect they aren't going to do anything about it....which is probably why fawkes doesn't return here anymore to give us an update...
Appears like the MS Edge/Chrome team has no plans to do anything with it (just like the Chrome developers)...So, ones choice is either to use Google Chrome or Edge/Chrome with the Font Rendering Enhancer extension...or switch over to Firefox...which has GREAT web page rendering and requires no add ons....

craig10x I'm not going to use Firefox. If you thought that Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge were RAM pigs, Firefox makes them look positively neat and tidy. I've seen Firefox chow down on darn near eight gigabytes of RAM and figuratively smile about it.
As for Microsoft not fixing the font rendering issue, that's why I'm here. I'm going to pester them until they fix this crap.

Hello,
Looks like this has been going on for a while, and I'm wondering if you have had any luck getting in contact or submitting any feedback and getting a response in relation to the font rendering.
Currently using Font Rendering Enhancer on latest ChrEdge set to font side 30 out of 100, and it is seeming to do a good job.
Thanks,
Best,
