Try viewing this screenshot on a non hi-DPI ( =<96 ppi) screen at 100% magnification with at least 24" diagonal.

Chrome has a very unpleasant, dirty RGB halo around every character. Acrobat Reader output looks neat and tidy in comparison.
In pdf.png, the Chrome PDF Viewer output does look worse, but this is on CentOS, so I believe this is a duplicate of  bug 479400 .
