Slightly off-topic: why does practially every Microsoft website render text in a really crappy fashion on any non-Windows OS? Chromium on Linux or Safari on macOS, both cases pretty much all the text on MS sites look like they are blurred and just a PITA to read.

I've not seen this issue. I work for Microsoft and use a Mac for most of my work.

Example screen shots or URLs?

I suspect the answer is that they are screen fonts designed with ClearType in mind.
Looks fine in Qupzilla on Linux
Never heard of this before, but apparently Qupzilla is a lightweight browser which uses the cross-platform Qt application framework, and it comes with a builtin ad blocker. Nice; I'm going to check this out soon.
