Re:Better text rendering in Chromium-based browsers on Windows

It's worse. Windows aggressively alters the shape and overall character of fonts to perform anti-aliasing, making them appear sharper on low-DPI displays.
Linux is a goofy with this too, but still looks better than Windows. macOS handles it best on high-DPI displays, but because subpixel anti-aliasing is no longer used, fonts can be a little blurry on low-DPI displays.

Yep, same. For me the animations are a dead giveaway if an app is using flutter. That, and the scrolling just feels _off_ in a way I can't quite describe and is a little clunky.
I had been building stuff with flutter for a while when GPay migrated to it and I could straightaway tell from the performance that it was flutter.

Font rendering does feel much worse on macOS, but on Windows you can tweak the cleartype parameters a bit and get it closer to Edge/Chrome.

If you like denser fonts like Victor, I would also recommend checking out Iosevka. It's similar, but to me it feels a bit nicer.
