Hello,
Recently I uninstalled the software that came with my drawing tablet, to reinstall it (a new version) and since then google chrome [text] is looking blurry (facebook comments, youtube player and the little channel list on the left side of the screen (youtube also)). I've reinstalled google chrome, but it didn't work.
I also did the Windows 8 image/text calibration thing (which might be what is making all this mess), where it asked me which text styles I prefered.

What I don't understand is why it is only happening on Google Chrome, it's working as expected on Internet Explorer.


Left is IE, right is GC
It might not seem that blurry on that picture, but it is really blurry for me, especially on facebook at it bothers me. Also, text that has a changing background (when you put your mouse over it) moves a little bit to the left/right, which also didn't happen before.

How can I solve this?
Thanks

Another thing, I don't know if this is related or not, but Google Chrome's tabs are now very big, and the pages seem to have way to much zoom than usual. Before, I was using 150% zoom on google chrome, now I had to turn it back to 110% for the pages to have the same size. I don't know how all of this happened, but I don't like it.

The same thing with me...Google Chrome reinstalled, browser resolution 100 %, Win 8.1., The text itself is not blurry, but the sidebars, or menus are. Ugly enough!

Might have an FXAA affect enabled, try to disable that.

By the way, facebook comments focus/unfocus when I move the mouse.
