some time ago (probably after recent update) I've noticed picture in my chrome changed a bit: everything rendered slightly upscaled and looks blurry. This issue affects everything: tabs, searchbar, bookmarks panel and of course all content in opened pages.
Here is some pic:
As you can see on screenshot, here Firefox window overlaps Chrome window, both of them shows the same page, and you can notice difference in sizes and blurriness. Do you have any ideas how to solve it?
Chrome version: 43.0.2357.130 on Kubuntu 14.04 (64-bit), it has default scale 100%. Also I found some info about similar issue on windows, but this didn't helps me, since there is no DirectWrite settings or something like that in my chrome.
Thanks.
Some more deeper search gives me a link to chromium issue, which describes my situation. And there also I found a solution for me. In brief, you just need to run next console command:
xrandr --dpi 96x96
Hope, this helps somebody.

I recently encountered a strange behavior in my Google Chrome browser.
Images appear pixelated and broken, but they appear on screenshots and get scrolled so it must be the browser and not my laptop. For example, google search:
Search icons get something like...distorted? Has anyone encountered that and maybe knows how to fix this?
Here's a work around: go to chrome://flags and disable GPU Rasterization.
You can use this link: chrome://flags/#enable-gpu-rasterization to get there.
Thanks to https://piunikaweb.com/2022/02/24/google-chrome-images-distorted-pixelated-after-latest-update-for-some/ for the tip
Same here. Not only icons but some large images as well
Ctrl+refresh seem to solve it
enter image description here
Turning off [GPU rasterization] and [hardware acceleration] is worked for me.
(Windows 10 + Chrome v101.x)
Turning off GPU rasterization
Go to chrome://flags
Select 'Disabled' right side of 'GPU rasterization'.
Restart browser.
Turning off hardware acceleration
Go to chrome://settings/system
Move switch off 'Use hardware acceleration when available'.
Restart browser.
I recognized this Bug on several Pages occurring in Chromium related browsers. I opened up a Chromium Issue, where the project members could not reproduce the problem - I am trying to figure out why this is happening (since the Problem occurs on Pages as like google.com, amazon.com, and so on, on several Mac-OS devices, which have nothing else in common) - we tried it on a clean Chrome installation, where The Problem is also occurring. To me it seems to be a bug - now I'd like to know if other people are also not able to reproduce. If you can reproduce (to reproduce read the following lines below) and/or find something new/interesting about the problem consider supporting the Ticket/Chromium Issue.
Chrome Version
91.0.4472.101 (Offizieller Build) (x86_64)
URLs tested
https://www.google.de/
https://www.microsoft.com/de-de
https://www.amazon.de/
Other browsers tested
Safari: hasn't the problem
Firefox: hasn't the problem
Edge: has the same issue (also Chromium based)
Chrome Canary: has the same issue (also Chromium based)
How to reproduce the problem?
Refresh Page (Command+Shift+R) and Scroll upwards while page is loading or in parallel (you have to be quick to reproduce).
What is the expected result?
Expectedly the Page should not over-scroll and stop at the pages top/end instead the page can be scrolled infinite above the pages top, same issue appears by scrolling down, where scrolling should stop at the bottom of the page.
What happens instead?
Browser keeps scrolling above the pages top/bottom infinitively. Once triggered the infinite scrolling wont disappear, even after refreshing the page - the only way to change the behavior is to copy the url and paste it within a new tab.
Small update: it seems like the problem appears when using a logitech mx master mouse (if you run into the problem when not using this specific model, let the chrome people know) - it looks like it can be solved by following steps:
Open a terminal window.
Type in the following command then hit enter:
defaults write -g NSScrollViewRubberbanding -bool false

Hopefully they'll fix the problem in chrome itself, until then this should solve the problem.
Update: See Irgend Son Hansel answer
I don't think there's an official fix currently, but what I do when this bug comes up is to simply click the scroll bar. It usually fixes it for a while before it comes back up again.
I am not entirely sure what the OP is asking but I assume they are looking for a fix or a workaround for this?
I occasionally experience the same on my MacOS machine. For me, refreshing page does not work. What I do is the following:
copy url of the current page
open new tab and navigate to the same url
close old tab
So what confused me recently is that my chrome started appearing a black border under the bookmark bar of the browser.It happens whenever I open my chrome and maximize the window.Even restart the chrome it still appear.It looks like:
You can see the black border is too thick(just compare it with your chrome).
Only when I reduce the window size will it disappear.It looks like:
I have thought it might have something to do with CSS but I can't get any information from the dev tools.I have also turned to chrome community forum for help.Although there is someone alse who met the same problem,none of them know the cause.
Any ideas what might be causing this?Is it a bug?
Version: Google Chrome79.0.3945.79 (Official Build) m (64-bit)
OS: win10
what happens when opening another page? does it show it there?
Try changing the theme to black or another. see what results you get.
If it is related to google homepage only, then it's possibly something to do with getting viewport size and then the related scaling logic.
I'm using Chrome developer tools for version 49.0.2623.110 m and I notice that the little box displaying the window WIDTHxHEIGHT when you resize is now gone or moved. Am I just not seeing it? Is it moved?
I use Viewport Resizer now but I really missed having both options to check window size...
I was looking for answers to this problem myself, and I found a couple of pages. Apparently, it's a bug in Chrome v49, that should be fixed in Chrome 50. Here are a couple of links to the discussions:

So I was using Chrome and IE together when all of a sudden Chrome decides to change its zoom level not only for the webpage, but the entire browser. I'm not sure if it happened when I restarted Chrome or if it happened when I decided to bring it to the front. So basically, all menu items, logos, icons, absolutely everything appears to have been zoomed in slightly. I have restored to original settings, disabled extensions (I don't use any extensions anyways), uninstalled and reinstalled, and nothing.
I've used the DPI settings in the properties of the Chrome application and nothing changes it. I've changed scaling in Windows and nothing helps.
Everything is larger in Chrome now and it's driving me crazy. Many menu items won't appear fully because of this. Note that this isn't just at the webpage level but at the entire browser level. I've included some images so you can compare. If you look at the youtube homepage, you'll see that everything is larger in Chrome than it is in Internet Explorer.
Scratch that apparently I need reputation in order to post pictures, ugh. If I can get 10 rep soon I'll post some pics.
I'm sorry if my description is rather vague but this isn't something I could search up. No other programs (including IE) are having this issue. THanks very much in advance if anyone can help. This is just driving me crazy.
No, Ctrl + 0 obviously does not work. This is an issue with the program as the entire program looks zoomed in. Everything, not just the webpage.
Found a "quick fix" solution from post #38 here:
Right click on the Chrome link on your desktop
Choose Properties and then add " /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1" to the existing Link to your path to chrome.exe.
Hope this works permanently. What a hassle.
If you're experiencing a "zoomed in" browser it's because you have an updated version of Chrome. Chrome and FireFox now adjusts the page zoom level according to your Windows settings to better support high DPI displays. For example, if Windows is set to 125% font size (120dpi), the content area will be zoomed by 25%. This is usually the default setting on your computer.
This means that your updated Chrome and/or FireFox browser will automatically set websites to 125%, and all other browsers remain at 100%.
What are possible solutions?
As of this writing, their isn't a known method of fixing this from a web coding standpoint, due to that it's created from the inner workings of the browser. That being said, their are still some things you can do from the "users" side to fix this:
The quickest way around this is to open up your browser and press on your keyboard "ctrl -" (control minus) twice. This will set your website content to 75%, which would be equivalent to 100% in all other browsers (but this will just fix the website content).
You can set your computers font-size settings in your control panel to "100%". This will make all of your computer fonts smaller.
I'm sure their is a better answer to this, but for now these are the 2 options that I'm seeing. In FireFox version 22 they also added this feature (as mentioned above), you can see the work around for FireFox here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/962979
I'm sure a similar solution also exist with Chrome.
You can change your windows default zoom to 100% in display settings and make everything almost unreadable, or (a better way)
You can add a start parameter to your chrome shortcut:
"your-chrome-dir\chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
I know, it's too late, but just in case someone else has this problem...
