| Due to a beautiful bug in Chromium, it turns out you don't need this binary patch and can **enable** subpixel positioning by asking Chrome **to disable it**: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=824153#c39 | |
| Needless to say, I won't be maintaining this gist any longer. |
@pandasauce That's awesome actually. I'm immediately seeing much improvement on brave browser which is chromium based. The texts are much sharper. Thanks!
Glad you like it. Something that is implied, but maybe I should point it out: this trick applies to all Chromium-based desktop applications too, i.e. Spotify and Slack.
Yeah. I knew it.

@AnwarShah, no. Just add
--disable-font-subpixel-positioningas a command line argument when launching Chrome. It will do the exact opposite to what it says and enable subpixel positioning unconditionally.
