Enabling MacType for Chrome 52+?

I've recently installed a dev-channel Chrome 53 (currently the latest, Version 53.0.2785.8 dev-m (64-bit)) and noticed that Chrome now renders in-page fonts ignoring MacType, and I wouldn't say I like it much (it all depends on fonts: some fonts look good, some fonts are very thin being very "faded", but in general the font geometry is correct and the fonts do not look distorted).

There is a manual on Reddit that helped me last year, but according to this post, the DirectWrite disabling option has been removed in the beta/dev versions and will be removed in public versions soon. However, I still can use the --disable-directwrite-for-ui command line argument to enable MacType for UI elements (and it really works cool), but even this command line option seems not be documented but experimental, and probably will be removed as well. I really don't like these changes since I've been fighting some older Chrome versions to enable MacType and make the text easier to read, but now it seems MacType will not work with Chrome in the future.

Is there any way to make Chrome MacType-friendly again? Any Idea or answers are greatly appreciated!
