Wish they would get around to fixing font rendering. Looks absolutely horrible and has done for a long while in Canary / Stable.

Firefox also has major rendering issues if you use visual styles.

Opera, IE and Safari are fine. This is pretty major in a browser considering most of the content you use them for is text.
