Could you please elabore in detail what exactly the Issue is, from the screen shot are you comparing the fonts on chrome with FF.?

Can you please highlight the text which seems to be blurry when compared with FF. This will help us to triage the issue better

Thanks.!

The DPI settings on Mate seem to break the visuals of Chrome 51. One of my
lines in the issue got clipped I regret but the FF screenshot was to show
that something was wrong with the DPI/font settings in both the document
and the frame. They normally look identical. The only resolving issue was
when I fiddled with my system (mate) DPI settings and this has appeared to
cause other problems around for me. Also I should point out that Chromiums
tabs are rounded and the colors look off.

@ mike.cody89: Gentle ping, can you please update chrome to the latest stable available and try this again. As there was a fix landed for blurry font on DPI machines which fixes it from M54 versions of chrome.

Kindly update us with your observations on chrome stable version 54.0.2840.100.

Thanks.!
