I don&amp;#x27;t know how brilliant the OS X font rendering must be, but the strokes are 1px thick when the font is &lt;i&gt;zoomed to 300%.&lt;/i&gt; How is this supposed to work?&lt;p&gt;This is &lt;i&gt;exactly&lt;/i&gt; what I expected when web fonts came out. Does anybody know how to deactivate them globally in Chrome? I&amp;#x27;m really tired of constantly changing fonts via F12, just to be able to skim some random article.</text></comment>

The white-on-orange thing in the navbar is terrible.&lt;p&gt;I know that the only people these days browsing HN are nutropic-fed paleo startup bros that are killing it when they&amp;#x27;re not in the box, but for some of us fat C++ neckbeards with bad vision many web design trends are pretty inconvenient.&lt;p&gt;EDIT: Thanks for the downvotes...now my post is similar in font to the proposed design. :(</text></comment>
