Is Google Chrome effectively buggy in its handling of desktop DPI?

Question

They appear to assume that "web designers assume a fixed 72DPI" (or something specific anyway). But desktop DPI usually depends on screen physical size.

When I visited this site, I noticed its fonts look tiny compared to other browsers.

After some quick research, I stumbled into Development advisories from Google Chrome that pin point to that issue: they assume DPI is a constant quantity. Is it effectively a bug?

Answer 1

That site's fonts are small because they have font-size: 70%; and later font-size: 85%;. So now it's down to 69.5% of the original size. The badly written CSS is to blame, not Chrome.

If it bothers you that much, press ctrl+.

Answer 2

The fonts look the same to me in Chrome and Firefox / Safari / IE

Answer 3

Chrome definitely has some display bugs. Many times, HTML checkboxes become invisible (simplest test using gmail). On zooming in/out, they SOMETIMES come back into view. (never faced this issue in IE/FF).
