Font Rendering Enhancer
Font Rendering Enhancer for Chrome. Darker and clearer text on the pages.
Description
Font Rendering Enhancer comes from Opera Font Rendering by thunder13. Darker and clearer text on almost every page (http and https). Modified and ported Mac OSX Font Rendering by proxxy (from Opera on Presto engine).
"The windows browsers render the fonts based on the normal sub-pixel rendering without implementing Font smoothing, anti-aliasing as noticeable as Mac OSX. This tweak applies text to be displayed more anti-aliased using CSS3 property. So modern browsers supporting CSS3 and userstyle support would be able to support it. ;)"
Modified (v 0.1.4):

Nobody probably can read this now.As an MV2 extension it's now removed by chrome.
Lately, it hasn't been keeping up with the light fonts and customizations simply don't work. For it to prove it actually works, there needs to be a disable/enable option.
always use
Neverminded, it worked on one page then broke. Please fix!
Is this a joke? Installed and all I could find was a "text width" adjustment that doesn't work. Why are theses developers wasting our time? Is this supposed to make text darker?
this actually works! amazing
FINALLY it works now since the extension has been updated on May 6, 2024 version 0.3.0 after no updates for more than 10 years. However, the sliding font width function still doesn't work in Chrome. That's why I give the extension 4 not 5 stars. Fix the font width slider and I will give it 5 stars.
I noticed a couple reviews that said it didn't work on Chrome and hasn't been updated in 10 years. I do not know when it was last updated, however, it works perfectly well in Chrome. I'm using the latest release as of 1-APR-2024 (Version 123.0.6312.86 (Official Build) (64-bit)). Cannot recommend this extension highly enough. When you enable it you won't believe your eyes!
Super! Thank you very match for you work
This was working fine until a Chrome update a few months ago. Now it causes the Chrome Print Preview to hang, take forever to load, and consume 100% of CPU even after canceling the print dialogue. After much troubleshooting, I narrowed it down to this extension. Problem exists when it is enabled, and immediately disappears when it is disabled.

Unexpectedly good results - had always wondered why Mac fonts in Chrome looked better and wished it was the same on Windows. Now it can be. I use a width of 24 and the difference is noticeable and very pleasing to the eye. Thank you for this extension. If possible I'd love to have an additional setting to control pixel-level letter-spacing like the CSS property does, but all good if not possible.

一般般，仅仅添加了个text-shadow样式而已，不如这个强大 https://f9y4ng.github.io/GreasyFork-Scripts/
text-shadow: transparent 0px 0px 0px, #0009 0px 0px 0px !important;
text-shadow: transparent 0px 0px 0px, #0009 0px 0px 0px !important;
Realmente se nota el cambio, me encanta. Gracias
I can't really tell the difference of text with or without the extension. What I can notice (after a long troubleshoot to find the source of the problem) is that having this extension active disables YouTube subtitles' character edge style. Whichever style I click, it's not applied to the subs. Now that I disabled this extension, I finally have the character edge style applied to the YouTube subs again. I'll be uninstalling this extension now.

This works well on the Kiwi mobile browser, maybe because the screen is smaller and it's easier to see the difference it makes. Not so great on a PC browser. And... it tends to not work most of the time in that browser. I'll try it again in Vivaldi on my pc. I'm thinking as another extension doesn't always work maybe if I install a few text darkening (and similar exte.) then maybe that'll help. I bet you anything it's the websites and blog blocking us from using the extensions making it so we still can't read the content. Not very smart! (Btw my won't be named blog has easy to read BLACK text. ^-^) People can take their grayed out text in a thin font with a tiny font size and surk it up the wazoole!
Отличное расширение. Однако, начиная с десятой винды жирности уже не хватает. Есть ли возможность расширить диапазон настройки?
有些网站的图片会有重影，这个插件也不更新了，希望能有个这个插件的替代版
提高了显示效果, 但部分网站会出现图片重影的问题, 例如语雀
Font Rendering Enhancer is very good but it makes certain fonts e.g. emoji from Segoe UI Emoji look bad. The developer should add some "Exclusion list" for certain fonts e.g. emoji fonts so they are not touched at all in the browser.

总体不错，不过个别的应用上会渲染有点问题，比如 bilibili 的弹幕会丢失描边效果。另外似乎设定存在云上，导致没法针对 mac 和 windows 分别设置有点尴尬
清晰了很多，确实不错，相见恨晚，虽然对于我比较鸡肋，但是确实是一款好插件。
Wonderful extension! It's incredible how much the qualiy of font rendering improved! Google Chrome has this font problem since its birth and no one at Google could solve it. This extension is almost perfect, the only problem is that texts which have "color:transparent" attribute are displayed too, while they should be invisible! Thank you

有用，可以調整後更清晰了，要是能調更粗就更好了
Great

Just works! I was reading some abominable website with gray text on white background and turning on this extension made a very noticeable difference. Highly recommended for others who hate this "gray text" trend in web design!

有个叫质感字体的油猴脚本也可以配合起来一起用，非常完美。
This makes the text hinting on Chrome match that of other browsers and other apps such as Word and Excel. For those who spend a lot of time doing work on our computers, I highly recommend it.

Love it but has a major flaw, if you watch YouTube videos and you've subtitles on, and assuming that you're not a monster and you do have Drop Shadow enabled in the subtitles settings. This extension will somehow magically kill the drop shadows, making it an annoyance to use. I wish if the dev can add a method to exclude YouTube specifically from it's rendering.

This helps a little bit wish it made text black.
good ext, but need some more options

Great! This plugin saves my eyes.

Outstandingly brilliant. This should be included with Chrome. Set the slider to around 50-60, and you almost can't even tell the difference between this and Firefox (or any other non-Chrome-based browser) unless you open them side-by-side.
