Issue 137692 - chromium - Horrible font rendering with Google Web Fonts on Chrome for Windows - An open-source project to help move the web forward. - Google Project Hosting

Implementation is quite buggy right now... Arial font for example is a mess. And I am not alone.

When it does work, it works well.

All this is nice but chrome takes up crazy ram and even it has become slow even with all extensions off. Switched over to Opera.

Chrome Canary is pretty fast. I use it when I have to bulk post videos on the forum. Opera Blink without any extension is pretty fast in comparison to my Chrome regular with tons of extensions.

But I do really use all the chrome extensions. Managed to find almost all similar ones on opera. Opera is really a step backwards compared to chrome ..like missing home button and dragging pics/files between tabs but yeah its pretty fast compared to chrome ..atleast on my system.

Some more improvements. Still require the switch that makes Chrome sessions unsafe. So not ready for regular testing.
