Lighter is, definitely worse. To prove it, please compare with FireFox, not with DW on nor older versions.
The gamma of rendering font has been corrected intentionlly since 3.1. It is advised by me and people who noticed that it's abnormal in original Chromium.
This problem appeared since Chromium version 51 or 52. There is another Chromium fork that rightens this wrong.
Why do this? Refer to:

As to why it looks different with DirectWrite on, refer to:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/iss...1490351782
So at last the developers kept DW on not changed.
