Bug Description

Today I updated Chromium. After that update the browser gui is absurdly large, like on a 800x600 screen - it seems like it ignores DPI settings now. I have DPI set to 144 in my xfce desktop.

How to change that behavior?

For a quick fix:
add --force-device-scale-factor=1 to your chromium starter script.

Is this still an issue with recent versions of chromium?
