That is very insightful and you're on point!

I have to zoom in quite a bit and look closely to tell the difference and can still barely make out which one is better. Comparing with my setup (FF1.0/sway1.25) it looks different to both but perhaps that's due to different fonts or resolution. Anecdotally the performance here is better than your sway but worse than your FF. At this point it's similar to the difference between high and medium bitrate for an MP3 though - I might make out the difference if I focus but in no way does the lesser version affect my experience otherwise.

I guess this is semantics but I still wouldn't call it "blur", maybe "suboptimal downscaling".

That being said, I understand things like this affects us differently and that it's a valid issue for you and probably others - just like suboptimal audio encoding ruins the music listening experience for some.
