Formatting in Edge broken - other browsers are fine

Anonymous

The formatting in my Edge browser has been broken for several days. Text is displaying incorrectly, and some sites are having complete broken layouts, with text stretched wider than the screen will allow. I've compared the font settings to my Chrome browser, which I just use for testing, and they're the same; however, both Chrome and Firefox are displaying websites correctly.

Example 1 (Edge vs Chrome) - Ticktick: Task titles are bolder and text notes on the right are larger and in a different font.

Example 2 (Edge vs Chrome) - Purexbox: Post titles are the wrong size, and there is odd spacing between the meta date info.

Example 3 (Edge vs Chrome) - Comicbookmovie: Pictures and text are not formatting correctly and are stretching beyond the edge of the screen.

I'm on Version 133.0.3065.69 (Official build) (64-bit) and have tried disabling hardware acceleration.
