Description: DPI? seems to change from 44.0.2403.155-1 to 44.0.2403.157-1. Everything looks larger, including Chromium UI and web pages. When I downgrade back to 44.0.2403.155-1 the problem does not occur.

Additional info:
Please see these images for comparison.

It appears to me that this is just fixing hidpi support.

In my case, I am not running a HIDPI display or doing any scaling. I just have a 1080p 17" monitor.

Maybe related: I've tried to lower _all_ font sizes in kde's System Settings. No effect. As a workaround pass the option --force-device-scale-factor=1

Please try to work with upstream to resolve such issues (by filing a new issue and/or following up on existing issues).

Assuming this is still an issue, affected people can use the '--force-device-scale-factor=1' workaround until it's fixed.
