[TIL] The importance of font smoothing in WebKit and Firefox

September 27, 2023·1 min readcss, macos, webkit, firefox

TIL that the following CSS font smoothing rules, really make a difference on Apple OSs (Firefox and WebKit-based browsers):

body {
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
  -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
}

Take a look at the difference with and without here and here.

Even though there are some arguments against it I still think the pros outweigh the cons, so better to set these rules.
