Many spend a huge amount of hours a day working with the texts provided by current web browsers such as Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. On certain occasions, this can be harmful to our view if we do not configure the programs we mention well.
These browsers normally offer us certain customizable functions to adapt the presentation of the contents to our needs. Thus we can modify the sources, the size of these and other very useful sections. But the truth is that sometimes we find that the texts of the websites we visit are somewhat blurred.
This means that we are forced to force the view to read these contents, which in the long run is not beneficial. Hence we are going to find an integrated new functionality that will help us improve the visibility of these texts in browsers such as Edge or Chrome.
Specifically, this function to which we refer to the Microsoft spear to improve the contrast of texts in all chromium -based browsers in Windows. We must take into consideration that the contrast relationship between the text and its background is currently very important to guarantee comfort and reduce visual fatigue of users. The Microsoft browser, Edge, last year 2021 has already improved the rendering of this content to facilitate its reading.
In these moments you want to go one step further, so an improved text rendering function is already available for users of all chromium -based browsers for Windows.
This affects the improved rendering in Chrome and Edge for Windows
In the specific case of Google Chrome, the improved text contrast is available on Windows from version 132 of the web browser itself. And it is now Microsoft expands these contrast and gamma correction improvements for the browsers of the open source project, Chromium. In this way, the quality and clarity of the text shown on the websites that we visit from them, it is already comparable in terms of definition of other Native Windows applications.
It should be noted that in Windows we have several functions that we can adapt and customize to have control of how the text is represented in our teams. For this, Cleartype text functionality is used in order to test and configure different contrast and gamma values.
At the moment and with the aforementioned text contrast improvement for the Chromium project, the Windows Cleartype text function also applies to browsers such as Edge and Google Chrome, natively. With all this, what is intended is to take care of the users while working with the browsers that we mention.
This is something that in the long run that many will thank, more if we consider that we spend a greater number of hours working with these specific programs. In addition, in most occasions we treat with texts that should be the most legible as possible.
