I have the maximal resolution set on my display, but when I enable fractional scaling in the display settings of Ubuntu (version 22.04) Google Chrome becomes blurred regardless whether I started the browser with --force-device-scale-factor=1.0 and regardless whether I use a fractional scaling value or an integer one. And not only text is blurred but everything in the application.


I can even see the changes immediately after I reapply the display settings. No need to restart the browser for that. The same happens with Firefox, but fonts in other non browser based applications look fine. So it affects only browsers (or all non native applications) for some reason.


Is there a way to fix this for fractional scaling?

Note: It's not specifically a browser's problem. Rather, a universal problem except for the system apps.


Enabling Wayland fixed it somewhat in my case.


Open terminal and write


$ sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

In the editor find #WaylandEnable=false, uncomment it by deleting the #.


Set WaylandEnable=true and save the file.


Reboot your device. Or reboot GDM3 writing in terminal


$ sudo systemctl restart gdm3
