Making Chrome render web page fonts the same as UI fonts

One user found that Chrome rendered web page's fonts in a way that made them very challenging to read - the characters were effectively less than one pixel wide. They found, however, that it rendered text in Chrome itself perfectly fine.

What solved the problem was disabling LCD text antialiasing (lcd-text-aa) in chrome://flags. My answer also mentioned disable-direct-write as another thing to try, but that flag appears to no longer exist.
