Google Chrome, the browser designed by the powerful Californian company, will be able to improve the rendering of its texts thanks to an old Microsoft improvement. Thanks to this improvement, Chrome’s texts will have better contrast, more accurate definition and resolution with respect to the idea of the font on which each text is based, and will also have details such as much more precise gamma.
Text is the most important source of information in history, and thanks to it, as a civilization, we have been able to advance by leaps and bounds. The internet is also built around text, and everything we read in our browser is part of it. Therefore, the improvements in text rendering in Google Chrome are good news for the hundreds of millions of users who use this browser daily.
Chrome and its rendering
As indicated by Neowin, the text rendering of Google Chrome will be improved thanks to an enhancement by Microsoft based on an update that the company made in Edge in 2021. With this, multiple text elements will be displayed with better quality, aligning with the text quality that the Microsoft browser has had for three years.
In this way, Google Chrome will finally correct one of the aspects that has been most criticized in recent years, since, unlike other browsers, in this area they have been stagnant for years without offering improvements to users. Now, thanks to Microsoft, Chrome will take an important qualitative leap in text rendering and will align itself with its competition in terms of quality.
Other improvements of the Google browser
Google Chrome is constantly working to stay as the most popular browser in the world, a dominant position it achieved mainly by conquering the world of smartphones through its Android operating system. However, it also maintains a strong number of users in browsers, where, before the rise of responsive browsing, Google was already the most popular browser.
Now, among other changes, Chrome wants to experiment to carry out one of the changes that could change the functioning of the Internet as we know it today. And how do they intend to do it? By permanently eliminating third-party cookies, using alternative data collection methods that are less aggressive to users and much less annoying to carry out a satisfactory browsing.
