Why is a browser tool better at rendering text than native?
2 comments

Because web sites have always been about rendering huge scrollable amounts of text and images
Because there is more competition to render sites in a pleasing way, switching cost is lower. The operating systems have a high switching cost, very few people will learn a new OS because the text is a little fuzzy.
