It's called sub pixel Antialiasing.
It's literally the best quality an rgb screen can display fonts.

To be fair, many typefaces look terrible without antialiasing. You need to use custom CSS (e.g., the Stylus extension) to change everything to Arial.

Font rendering is usually pretty good these days, even on shitphones. It's only on Windows that it's an embarrassment.

Mac os has no feature to change the font rendering in case you have a screen with non standard subpixel layout. Embarrassing, it's actually the worst just based on this.

Without antialiasing you effectively reduce your horizontal resolution (vertical in portrait mode) by a factor of 3.
