Font Rendering Enhancer Extension

Description
Font Rendering Enhancer comes from Opera Font Rendering by thunder13. Darker and clearer text on almost every page (http and https). Modified and ported Mac OSX Font Rendering by proxxy (from Opera on Presto engine).
\"The windows browsers render the fonts based on the normal sub-pixel rendering without implementing Font smoothing, anti-aliasing as noticeable as Mac OSX. This tweak applies text to be displayed more anti-aliased using CSS3 property. So modern browsers supporting CSS3 and userstyle support would be able to support it. ;)\"

Modified (v 0.1.4):
- A Control panel

Jeff H (ID: 0000005bee8d9e6e) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/12/2023 This was working fine until a Chrome update a few months ago. Now it causes the Chrome Print Preview to hang, take forever to load, and consume 100% of CPU even after canceling the print dialogue. After much troubleshooting, I narrowed it down to this extension. Problem exists when it is enabled, and immediately disappears when it is disabled.

Dean-Ryan Stone (ID: 00000006760dfd70) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/12/2023 Unexpectedly good results - had always wondered why Mac fonts in Chrome looked better and wished it was the same on Windows. Now it can be. I use a width of 24 and the difference is noticeable and very pleasing to the eye. Thank you for this extension. If possible I'd love to have an additional setting to control pixel-level letter-spacing like the CSS property does, but all good if not possible.
