2021-06-02 21:42
With the next version of Chromium Edge, Microsoft says it will update the font rendering experience to match the standards of other native Windows apps, such as Calculator, Groove Music, etc.
Microsoft has already enabled the new font rendering experience in the Canary builds.
This new update will also allow Microsoft Edge to respect user ClearType Tuner settings when applying text contrast enhancement and gamma correction.
To enable the new feature, head to the Edge Canary's flags menu and turn on the #edge-enhance-text-contrast flag.
Remember that Edge must be restarted after changing the settings and ClearType tunning applies to your primary monitor only.
This feature is set to arrive in Microsoft Edge stable builds later this year.
