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...
Fawkes 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
Bdsrev Haha, well, I won't be yelling at anyone, but I do have an update. I checked in with the team, and the good news is that they've identified the mechanism behind this and are looking into it.
As for the Top Feedback list, it really just comes down to numbers. We focus on which feature requests have the largest volume of submissions from our in-browser feedback tool. So, just because something isn't on the list doesn't mean that it's not a priority to the team; rather, it means we haven't received as many requests for it.

- Very happy that the developers have identified the mechanism involved.
