Is it me or did the new update fuck up chrome's resolution? IE and firefox are crystal clear yet chrome is all blurry now. I tried resetting the browser and no luck. Anybody have any fixes?

I had the same problem with 8.1 u gotta go in program files; get the chrome app; click property; and check remove scaling from the compatibility tab. It fixed it for me but some other things are still blurry somewhere else in the os

Firefox is better than Chrome.

Right click on your desktop, click graphics, then something like "let me see all text in the same size" and then check a box on the next screen having to do with scaling and it will be fixed. On mobile so I'm kinda just making this up, but google it, it will work

sucks that Google is still collecting info on what you do online regardless of whether you turn analytics off or not.

I haven't really noticed any changes between 8 and 8.1, chrome still looks the same, as does everything else. There is a "start button" now but it just takes you to the start page with all the apps, so i just went back to using classic shell.
