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 ...
Dean72 Do you run Windows? If so, MS Edge works in high-contrast mode. For more details, see this article.
Here's some more info from our What's New page, "both the web browser and web content now fully support the high contrast themes available in Windows. This feature brings significantly improved legibility and readability of textual content. Our implementation of high contrast in the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge matches the support we offer in legacy Microsoft Edge, and guarantees text readability against any background by adding a text backplate filled with the system background color."
Hopefully that helps!

Thanks 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.
