Immediately I could see the text rendering was completely different; much worse.

Double-checked release notes and ironically it says text rendering was fixed with DirectWrite disabled.  Yeeeah, it looks like the opposite happened.

v3.0.4.29:

v3.2.4.23: 


Just noticed I was 2 releases out of date.. I guess I'm gonna go try version 3.1.5.52 and see if that's working fine just so I'm not that out of date with security updates.  Edit: Or not.. because it's downloading at 4KB/s.  Server issue?

I hope whatever changed in the latest version can be reverted.
This effect it's not the intention of this gamma related changing. Maybe you encounted the "wrong text" bug in 3.2.4.23, noticed regular font displayed instead of bold font. This bug appeared occasionally, mine is correcttly displayed.

V3.2.4.23 with DirectWrite off and without 3rd-party rendering,shows the correct contrast(refer to Firefox or other) compared with the wrong one of legacy version of chrome series
   
This bold font is not bold enough compared with Firefox due to customized font, default is OK. I guess you have the same problem.

You may try 3.1.5.52, but it has the "cutting off font" bug.
