Strange boxes on Chrome/Linux - google-chrome

I'm experiencing weird artifacts on Google Chrome 61 on Linux.
There are some strange boxes rendered on many pages:
Example 1:
Example 2:
Note: I changed the background color of the body #444954 to make the boxe more visible, you can try by yourself on this page with the chrome devtools: https://bitbucket.org/account/signin/.
You should see a single color on the whole background.
These boxes are not DOM elements and are often visible on large colored backgrounds. Usually It seems to surround elements of the page (very visible on the screenshot) and are always at the same place on a single page. So I think the position of the boxes are directly related to the content.
This is not a monitor issue, I've 3 different monitors and boxes are visible on all screens.
What I've tried:
Remove chrome extensions
Reset chrome settings
Installed prior Nvidia drivers.
Didn't changes anything.
I do not know if it's related, but I've another unresolved issue with Chrome Colors: Weird colors on Chrome/Linux
Thanks for your help

I had this problem as well, try to add the style rule on the background layer:
backface-visibility: hidden;

Input fields and other objects display fading boxes around such elements only in CCleaner Browser A.K.A. Chrome Browser

I've got an issue going on with my CCleaner internet web browser (which is built on Chrome). These silver-white borders appear over elements on web pages, and even the whole page itself, whenever I click on such an element. It only happens inside the CCleaner browser window, not in "regular" Chrome.
Here I would like to provide an example, taken from my edit account settings here on Stack Overflow dot com (a page you can look at that is exactly the same as mine except for my issue with my web browser).
OK so in that pic the border you see around the text entry box is what I get all the time. The box is not permanent; it slowly fades out and dissolves.
How do I prevent these silver borders from appearing in the first place?

How to fix blurry/pixelated font-rendering on red/blue backgrounds (Windows, Firefox, Chrome, others)?

On Windows, and to a certain degree also on Mac OS, with different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari), our menu bar has rather pixelated/blurry font-rendering. This is on an ASP.NET Core 2.1 site that uses Bootstrap 4.1.3 but it's easy enough to reproduce with just simple HTML: https://jsfiddle.net/2tgc9r84/
<html>
<body style="background-color:#e72c87;">
<p style="font-size:20pt;">
This is some text that looks terrible.
</p>
</body>
</html>
Interestingly, the same font renders just fine in other areas of the site. I have noticed this on a 4K monitor that has 150% scaling activated but the issue also shows up with 100%. I have also tried this with different fonts, so apparently it's not an issue with the font, either.
Originally I thought this was an issue with transparency or transformations but finally, I tried simply changing the background color - and it turns out this blurriness is very obvious with red and dark blue (and of course, combinations of those, like magenta), and pretty much invisible with most other colors. Also, by changing the main background color, I can reproduce the issue for the other areas.
You can directly have a look at the site where this occurs here: https://beat-the-rhythm-vr.com/Home/Social (the navigation with the blurry text shows up after accepting the cookies).
Here's an image that shows the effect with different backgrounds, and also rendered on Mac OS (the Mac OS screenshots appear smaller in the image):
As far as I can tell, this does not happen at all on iOS. On the Mac, I don't quite see the issue on the screen but it does become obvious when making a screenshot. This could, however, also be an artifact due to scaling on the screenshot.
This is what it looks like on iOS (I get the same blurriness on Windows when making the Window small enough to get the same layout as on mobile, so that's also not the issue causing this / fixing this):
The obvious question: Is there any way to fix this, and if so, how?
EDIT: This is in addition to the comment on Porter's answer (I can't add screenshots in comments, so I'm posting this here):
EDIT 2: While this article is about a slightly different issue, my guess is that what I'm seeing is really just a limitation of ClearType that is related to what the article outlines: Color-aware ClearType requires access to fixed background pixels, which is a problem if you don't know what the background pixels are, or if they aren't fixed
ClearType apparently doesn't work when the background color isn't known, and from what I'm seeing, it seems to be designed primarily for black text on white backgrounds, also works well with light colors on dark backgrounds but not really so much for red/blue/magenta backgrounds (and any font-color).
I am unable to reproduce this on a 1080p or 4K display, with either mobile or web view on Firefox and Chrome. Fonts do tend to blend with the background color, so not every pixel of the font is going to be the same color; It'll blend on the edges. The smaller the font, the less pixels it has to work with for blending. If you use a larger font, does the same problem occur?

Firefox rendering inconsistently and with black areas on redraw

I have a site (http://www.iproconnect.com.au/) that for one user (that I know of) renders the home page with black areas in Firefox. These do not seem to be tied to CSS, as if I force a re-draw of an affected area (e.g. by scrolling areas in and out of the viewport) it sometimes renders correctly, and sometimes incorrectly but differently to the previous incorrectly. Also if I do this with the inspector open, no CSS seems to change, and hovering background URLs show the image downloaded correctly.
I can't reproduce this in other installations of Firefox (all running the same version - fully up to date). And this user has un-installed and re-installed with no change in behavior.
I don't even know how to debug this further, let alone how to solve. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

SVG disappear when zoom in on chrome

I've loaded a page with multiple SVGs on chrome.
when I zoomin/out one of the SVG is disappearing and I have no idea why this is happening.
(and it stays like this even when I zoom back to default)
any ideas?
this is the url if you want to try it yourself
http://www.facegift.co.il/canvas/?userItemId=17887&sc=987404&print=1&width=1500&pageNum=7
This is not a bug in Chrome. This is a bug in your page.
All the id attributes on the page have to be unique. But on your page, they are not.
The <linearGradient> for that botanical flourish has the id "SVGID_2_". There is also a <clipPath> element on the page with id="SVGID_2_".
Fix that problem (and any other duplicate ids) and I am certain things will start working.
Then you should also delete your Chrome bug report.
I had a very similar issue in Chrome because one of the elemets had the transform attribute:
transform="translate(0,-9000000000)"
And it made Chrome go crazy. The solution was to hide or remove the element.

Why zooming in/out doesn't affect the font size (some sites only)

Sincerely hope someone can provide solution for this.
Normal zooming by holding Ctrl + Scroll (or +/-) is useful but it just doesn't work in certain part of some sites.
For example:
http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/living/2012/04/02/malaysias-top-rock-act-blister/
As you can see, zooming in and out has no effect at all to the text in the comments using facebook account. This problem only happen to Chrome but not IE or firefox.
No matter how large other font becomes, the size of the font (yes, font only) in comments remained unchanged and this is annoying.
Any solution please?
Look at:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=104083
It can be achieved with the css rule -webkit-text-size-adjust: none;.
If one wants to disable it, the link also contains a solution in step 8, using an extension CSS rules are inserted in all pages which override this
