I love firefox, but sometimes I like to use IE because some web sites load and display better in IE.
Firefox's text is soo clear and crisp, while IE is soo blurry and choppy. I tried turning my computer's ClearType on, but that didn't do anything. Does anyone else have this problem? Do you know how I can fix it? firefox ie sorry about the full screen shots. i was too lazy to crop. |

IE7 does that. I haven't yet figured out a way to turn it off. I know Safari does that too, but they give you an option for how blurred you want it, and the lowest setting is okay. I don't think IE lets you choose, though.
I'd just use Firefox. ;] |

anti-aliasing is a problem you're always going to have to deal with. the only way to make it look better is to use a larger font, because even if you turned off anti-aliasing in your own browser, other people are going to keep it on. it also depends on the size & resolution of the monitor & the number of colors they're using.

Open IE7 > Tools > Options > Advanced tab > Multimedia > uncheck "Always use ClearType for HTML."
(However, Firefox really is the better browser.) |
