UCyborg Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Presumably due to how Skia renders fonts on Windows or the way it's used. AFAIK, it uses hardcoded contrast constant. Maybe try this extension: https://www.crx4chrome.com/extensions/ombebcdhklmmkcddekoplmobafpkolmd/ Personally I prefer the fonts that come out with combination of Win8.1+ (with tuned ClearType settings) + classic Mozilla based forks (SeaMonkey, Waterfox Classic, UXP browsers). I also noticed newer Firefox versions render them thinner (at least assuming from experience from version 96, things could have changed since...).

I use rather Dark Mode...but NOT on MSFN nor windowsxp forums.... In 360Chrome: Page zoom: 120%, custom font size: 12. I don't mean the font size, it's okay. The problem is the many different fonts that use the websites. These are often not legible. Additionally, I've notched in uBlock: "Block remote fonts" setting. Use dark mode extension if you wish.. To make darker fonts, use Blacker Text: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/blacker-text/nmmmdgooonmibfppcponjkaoohgcdpbd/related?hl=en-US - which has default settings very pleasant to me. Size11.92KiB only. PS. This extension works flawlessly on the MSFN forum... Edited January 7, 2023 by msfntor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But did discover that you can DELETE the Updater.dll file in the plugins folder and whoala, no more phone-home telemetry (or disable via plugins menu but this would allow it to phone home "once" because you had to launch with it enabled by default).

AstroSkipper Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I think a simple block rule is totally sufficient although Process Hacker is not able to connect to his update server anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I see, the newer versions have the option in Options, I'd have to check if it's also part of the plugin. Didn't you post something about small things the other day? Unrelated to 360Chrome, but maybe another small, but bizarre thing, weeks/months ago, I noticed KeeFox extension in my Mozilla forks keeps pinging the address for collecting stats. Even with the relevant checkbox disabled. I have mixed feelings on that type of data collection, consider it neither harmful nor particularly useful for any party. But again, I'm no professional developer. The bizarre thing with KeeFox is the frequency, only several seconds apart. And it's the old abandoned version so probably not useful to the developer in either case. Leading me to the somewhat related thing that a lot of data collection on the internet seems oriented towards trying to sell stuff to people. I'm sure they've figured out long ago that I'm hopeless case. Several times already I remembered to check KeeFox and comment out whatever code is doing it, but every time I want to get to it, my mind is like: "Do I really have to?" I don't know, hard to explain... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose font-family contains: Delivery,Verdana,sans-serif Shouldn't "Verdana" then be used if "Delivery" is not available locally? For me, "Renderet Font" shows "Delivery - Network resource" and doesn't use "verdana". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
