I don't recall ever making any changes to any font related settings. All display settings in Chrome should be default.

Chrome defaults to Times New Toman though, which is a lovely outdated font from last century that wasn't designed for modern computer screens and the antialiasing techniques that are used by modern operating systems to make stuff look good. Try changing chrome's font to Calibri or Segoe UI (the later is the standard modern UI font that Microsoft uses). If you insist on using a serif font then use cambria.

I'm on my mac laptop at the moment but I assume it's the same setting here "Customize Fonts"?



I don't know why but I noticed my Mac was also rendering the page like this, not nearly as terrible as the WIndows problem but:



So I went ahead and changed the "Standard Font" to Calibri.



That's the setting. I'll be interested to see if that fixes the issue.

My fonts are looking really weird on Chrome as a result;




They look perfectly normal to me? Tweak them with the cleartype wizard if you like, and maybe set your Default font to Segoe UI light - I find it looks the best.

Only odd issue I've started seeing in chrome is that when I open the browser it restores a bunch of random, recently closed tabs instead of just what I had open when I closed it.

I'm having some weird problems with chrome. Out of the blue I decided to manually check for chrome updates, and I discovered that I was still on version 52, and that some glitch was preventing chrome from checking for updates. So I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, which fixed the issue, but then I noticed my extensions weren't being automatically installed (I'd had them synced to my google account).I tried going to the chrome web store and installing them manually, but I discovered I'm unable to install extensions at all for some reason - anytime I try, I get a message 'an error has occurred - Download interrupted'.

Any ideas?

I've tried reinstalling both the mainstream and beta versions, doing a full malware scan with windows defender and malaware bytes (both in regular windows and in safe mode), and attempting to install the extension both with and without being logged into my google account.

Have you tried a full-uninstall, and then removing the folders (users\username\appdata\local\google) or using a tool like CCleaner with every option under Chrome checked?

Not yet, I'll try that.

Edit: didn't work, so I decided to flatten windows and reinstall. That fixed it real good.
