Better text rendering in Chromium-based browsers on Windows
The Edge team added support for respecting the Windows ClearType Tuner values in Chromium directly, resulting in better text rendering in Chromium-based browsers on Windows.
But some finer details, such as how text is rendered at the pixel level, are often left to interpretation by the standards bodies, and typically end up relying on the operating systems that browsers run on. However, Chromium relies on Skia, a powerful and flexible cross-platform graphics engine, which abstracts many of the operating system-specific code from its API. Special thanks to Ian Prest, Daniel Libby, and Alison Maher at Microsoft, as well as Dominik Röttsches, David Yeung, Ben Wagner, and Brian Osman at Google for their contributions to this project!
