Hello all,

This application seems to suffer from a chromium related issue which makes the text blurry and uncomfortable to read. It works great on Firefox. Workaround on stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37906602/blurry-downscaled-images-in-chrome

The issue can be fixed by turning off hardware acceleration on the settings page.

mkucej commented 2 years ago

We addressed the Chrome awful image scaling in 5.9.0. What you are describing sounds like another Chrome bug. There is nothing we can do about that.

Sorry we can't help with this. Is the text blurring occurring on larger zoom levels, even +125%?

antibunching commented 2 years ago

Yes, it happens on all zoom levels. After a while I realized this problem only occurs on my laptop. On chromium on my work PC, no text blurring happens. I will post an update if I find out why in the future, but for now I am gonna just disable HW acceleration. Thanks!
