For some reason, the text suddenly started looking weird on my browser. I tried looking up how to fix it and they all say to turn off hardware acceleration in settings. The problem is I can’t read which setting is for hardware acceleration, and when I tried turning off both options shown, it didn’t fix things. May I ask what I should do?
For starters . . .
In a Brave Browser > New Window, go to: brave://settings/system
-
DISABLE:
Use hardware acceleration when available
–
In a Brave Browser > New Window, go to: brave://settings/shields
-
DISABLE:
Auto-redirect AMP pages(always) -
DISABLE:
Prevent sites from fingerprinting me based on my language preferences(temporary)

Hi
Try to tune font: Open Windows Settings, search for adjust cleartype, click on adjust cleartype text, then follow steps to adjust font.
Result?

Sorry, but because of the issue, I can’t really read the settings listed. Do you mind sending me screenshots of the pages so I know which to turn off?
I just tried this, but it doesn’t seem to have fixed anything. Thanks anyway!
I wrote out the steps . . . and I followed that with a screenshot of what I wrote
Download that screenshot and zoom the downloaded PNG file.
I appreciate you sending a screenshot so I’m able to read your instructions. However, I can’t really follow your instructions if I can’t read any of the Settings options.

Thanks!! This helped clear up why just turning off hardware acceleration didn’t work, since I couldn’t see the relaunch option because of the text issue.
@CerealLover - Thank you.
