Improve font rendering to be on par with Firefox or at least original Edge
The thing that always made me swithc back to Firefox when trying out Chromium based web browsers was font rendering. You can even see that in the UI of Chromium-Edge, where the Segoe UI font is much ...
I noticed several people mention a text enhancer plugin from the Chrome store... Looked it up but the website it links to on the Chrome store goes to a virus/malware page... anyhow I'm the paranoid type and didn't really trust it.
I made my own Edge plugin to enhance the font rendering to be as close as possible to ClearType, got it published on the store: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/text-hinting/mnonklhmlgojlbmomnkdmekngokpcdcc
It still uses a hack to approximate ClearType, however I hand-tuned the plugin and tested it out on multiple different screen configurations to get as close as possible. The source code is available at: https://github.com/vsalvino/chromium-texthintif anyone is curious.
