It’s been just over three years since Microsoft confirmed it would improve text presentation in Edge. This new feature would make the text more readable within the browser, optimizing its reading for users, using ClearType.
Now this new feature will also start to reach other browsers, and Chrome is one of the first to implement it. According to the Chrome changes page, Microsoft is helping Google improve the presentation of text in Chrome within Windows, through the use of ClearType, as it currently does in Edge.
Currently, Chromium – the basis of Chrome – uses the Skia text rendering engine, which, despite being powerful, still has some limitations in terms of adjustments and customization. This makes the text in Chrome thinner than in other Windows applications or compared to Edge.
However, this will soon change, with the help of Microsoft, making it possible to use Windows ClearType to improve the quality of the text presented in the browser, making it more readable and personalized, as well as more uniform with what is found in the browser. rest of the operating system.
It is expected that the changes will be applied in version 124 of Chrome.
