It's annoying that Chromium does not yet Do The Right Thing with regard to scaling on Linux. However, the --force- device- scaling- factor= X.Y where X.Y > 1.0 breaks things in some interesting ways. Menus appear in the wrong place and are in some cases unusable, and desktop notifications stop functioning. However, I'd be hard-pressed to say that we should decide as a default behavior to break these functions - versus having it squinty but fully functional.
