Microsoft Edge font size and style changed for some reason


Here are two additional screenshots of the exact same page. You can clearly see a different font and size. The first one is Edge and the second one is IE. Again, this just started happening either yesterday or today. The Edge font looks to be Times New Roman and is too small. It used to be the same as IE which is much better and easier to read.

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Hi William,

I realize that you want to ignore font styles and sizes in web pages on Edge browser. I will try to help you with this.

Suggest you to optimize Microsoft Edge and check if that helps.

Microsoft Edge font size and style changed for some reason


In the last day or two, I noticed that the font size and style on the vast majority of websites that I visit has been changed, and it's not a good change! It looks like Times New Roman now, and though I don't know what the font style was before, I know it wasn't this. Also, I have no idea what a typical web font size is, but it seems that the size now is probably somewhere in the 8-10 point range.

Nothing has changed in my settings that I'm aware of - at least I'm not the one that made any change. I currently have zoom to 250% which is what is recommended for this Dell XPS 13. That's what it's always been set at, and everything looked fine before.

Almost everything from Google, to Facebook, to my Feedly feed - you name it - is displaying this new font style and size. Has anyone else experienced this, or is there some way for me to change it back?

When I previewed this post, the screenshots I've attached don't seem to illustrate what I'm talking about. In fact, it looks fairly normal. I suppose it's being zoomed in the screenshot, but trust me, it's much smaller on my screen.

Regardless, if you have any advice, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks.
