      And have you tried disabling extensions and then re-enabling one at a time to try to find the one to blame?

      Yuck! With 64 enabled Extensions that's gonna hurt down the back...

      Besides, with so many Extensions there is a good chance that it's not just a single one causing the problem, but a combination, or even more.

      I had this strange behavior, e.g.: A+B+X working well, A+B+Y working well, but A+X+Y or all together (A+B+X+Y) don't.

      anyway.. I'll try it, we'll see where it gets me.

      Another question: Is there a way to determine, what exactly causes the problem (JavaScript function or code, CSS rule, etc.) with the Developer Tools (F12) console or one of the other tools?

        I've found the bastard! It's Night Mode
        Before that one it was Deluminate (Chrome Extension) which
        I have added to Opera with Download Chrome Extension

        Just installed the latest Version of Deluminate for Chrome. Right now things went back to normal.
        But how safe is it to install Chrome Extensions in Opera?

          There are no guarantees whatsoever that it will work or be safe. Some work fine, some don't work at all. Use at your own risk.

                Do you mean per flag or per command line switch?

                FLAG (disabled by default)
                browser://flags/#disable-direct-write
                [Enable]

                CL
                Opera NoDirectWrite.lnk
                Target: ["C:\Program Files (x86)\OperaCr\launcher.exe" --disable-directwrite-for-ui]

                I just ran a big browser test. This are the results:

                I tried:

                • Opera Normal Window
                • Opera Private Window
                • Opera CL switch
                • Opera developer
                • Opera 12
                • Chrome

                on google.com/maps the font is displayed correctly everywhere

                on google.de/maps the font is blurry on the current Opera Stable 31.0.1889.174 in any "mode"
                all others work fine


                Since this issue seems to be solved in Opera Dev I will have to wait for the update with the fix.
                Until then I'm gonna use GMaps COM

                But somehow I got the feeling that this is not the end of the blurry font story. I just wait for next site that screws things up massively.

                  This was driving me nuts but never suspected an extension because it has been doing it for so long. Guess what: I also have Night Mode. After disabling it and restart Opera, Facebook doesn't blur anymore!

                  Thanks!
