text is too faint compared to Firefox or legacy Edge (Windows 10)
I'm sure the Edge team has heard this one but I think it's a high priority because it's honestly tempting me to switch to Firefox: on Windows at least, text is too 'faint' compared to Firefox and leg...

- BdsrevJul 24, 2020Steel ContributorBut Fawkes, that thread is about PDF's. I'm not talking about PDF's, I'm talking about normal websites like google.com . I think these are different issues. Please forward this to the people that are in charge of text for Edge/Windows. (you are the best BTW, thank you so much for replying)

Bdsrev Thank you for the callout! I had both articles open and linked the wrong one. Here is the correct link. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/improve-font-rendering-to-be-on-par-with-firefox-or-at-least/m-p/1537025

Program Manager & Community Manager - Microsoft Edge- BdsrevJul 30, 2020Steel ContributorFawkes why isn't this issue in the Top Feedback Summary? I can say with confidence that current text rendering in Edge is actually incorrect. Firefox for Windows, Legacy Edge for Windows and Safari have black text, but Chromium-based Edge for Windows doesn't. This seriously needs to be fixed ASAP, it's not a little tiny annoyance, it's text rendering, this is high priority. Please yell at the team responsible for us hahaha
