Tab titles blurry/soft on Windows 10

[Clonkex]

Description

I've used Chrome for a decade. Today I switched to Brave, but I'm not sure if I can stay here because the tab titles are slightly blurry and it makes me feel like I can't see clearly. See the screenshot below.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a tab (in my case, a Google search for "screenplay format")

Actual result:

Top-left is Brave, beneath that is Edge and to the right is Chrome. In this case the tab is in the background, but it's the same when it's in the foreground. Besides that, Edge still manages to be sharp even in the background.

Expected result:

See Edge and Chrome in the screenshot above (their tab titles are tack-sharp).

I believe the active tab's text gets bolded - and in Brave this is expected

cc: @MadhaviSeelam @jonathansampson We deliberately added weight to the foreground tab and decreased weight on background tabs. We shouldn't be blurry. @goodov gpu issue?
