How do I make font smooth in Chrome?

Go to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display > Adjust ClearType text (on the left). Check the box entitled “Turn on ClearType.” After going through a short wizard, this will fix some of the text rendering issues in Chrome.

Why does my Chrome look pixelated?

This can be done by going to Settings within Chrome and typing "hardware" in the search box, then turn off the option to "Use hardware acceleration when available ". Only some computers will experience this issue, and it is advised to turn off hardware acceleration only if you experience issues.

  2. Enable "Disable accelerated 2D Canvas"
  3. relaunch
