Wait, are you saying there's a version of Android somewhere that ships with a web browser which actually specifies its device pixel ratio as a non-integer? I am dubious, since I assume that would force rough anti-aliasing on everything and look like crap.

The device pixel ratio is simply the conversion ratio between device pixels and css pixels. It is on the device makers to determine how to interpolate image data into CSS pixels in the browser. There are many devices that have non-integer based DPRs. From what I recall, earlier devices even have DPRs of 0.75

Some power users with 2880x1800 MBPs are using them at 1920x1200. Sounds crazy but I looked at it and found it almost bearable.
