      I have Chrome configured as my default browser, armed to the teeth against any possible misbehaviour such as no Javascript. Anything that tries to open a website automatically goes there, and if it wants to work properly has to get onto my whitelist or gets its URL copypasted into Firefox.

      I use Firefox as my main browser. It doesn’t seem to like not being my default browser and complains regularly about it, but there’s no way to explain my setup to it so I have to keep saying “no” to the prompt (to be fair it’s only at update time when this happens, and even then it’s occasional so no big deal). JS is on by default but I still have uBO, Enhancer for YT, I don’t care about cookies, and a few other extensions.

          Here is a picture that demonstrates the problem. On the left is Firefox and on the right Thorium (Chromium). I’ve had this problem on Windows before but now I’m using Linux and it’s the same unfortunately.

              Using DuckDuckGo (Android), which is chromium-based, it has the same problem, all text weights are bolded at the maximum values.

              It looks like Firefox is trying to be more respectful of the text weights, when deciding how to bold text.

            Here is a picture that demonstrates the problem. On the left is Firefox and on the right Thorium (Chromium).

            If I’m understanding that screenshot correctly, it looks like Thorium (Chromium) is ignoring the text values and bolding any of them at the max bolding value, where Firefox respects the text values and bolts off of that just slightly.

        It’s been forever since I last looked, but can’t you actually change what fonts are used from within Firefox directly?
