Why doesn't blur(0) remove all text blur in Webkit/Chrome on retina screens?

Question

I recently came across an odd behaviour in Webkit browsers (under OSX at least) which took far longer to resolve than I would like!

Essentially: setting filter

Answer 1

try this:

#the_element_that_you_applied_translate_to {
  -webkit-filter: blur(0.000001px);
}
