    Why does new edge have poor text rendering?


    So I decided to try new Edge and found its text rendering to be much worse than old Edge.

    See image below and you will see old edge is perfect even when zooming in 400%, new edge is blocky.

    Why does new edge have poor text rendering?

    What may help is to go to google extensions and install the "font rendering enhancer" for me it makes the difference and makes it more like Firefox...It's a Chromium problem which the Chrome developers refuse to fix...The Edge team is aware of it from discussions in one of the microsoft forums...Hopefully, they will do something about it (it is suppose to be a simple fix)...I feel one shouldn't need to use an extension to get good font rendering...The only alternative of course, is to use Firefox which does not suffer with this problem and renders darker and sharper text...

    Remember..the old Edge was NOT chromium based so that is why it didn't have that problem...
