While I love Chrome and it's my favorite browser, the one thing I really dislike about it is the way it handles anti-aliasing. I really don't like the seeing soft fuzziness around fonts. It always makes me feel it's blurry.
Previously, to disable the anti-alias in Chrome you would create a "User Stylesheet\Custom.css" file (Chrome doesn't use the OS's font setting) with the following:
body { -webkit-font-smoothing: none; }
But starting with version 33, Chrome no longer load the user style sheet so one day I started Chrome and everything looked fuzzy again!
The "new" way around this to create your own Chrome extension. All this involves is adding one new file.
Create a new directory and add a new file called manifest.json. Have the following in it:
{ "manifest_version": 2, "name": "Disable AntiAlias in Chrome", "version": "0.1", "content_scripts": [{ "matches": ["https://*/*", "http://*/*"], "css": ["style.css"] }] }
Then create a file that matches the name used in the line "css": ["style.css"]. In this example, create a file called style.css.
Style.css should have the same thing as what was in the Custom.css file above.
Then on the url bar in Chrome, type "chrome://extensions/" (without the quotes). Enable the "developer mode" checkbox and click on the "Load unpacked extension" button. Select the directory that contains your newly created file.
Done.
