Can someone please verify this is a 4.3 bug in the stock browser. Go to this website: m.miscoproducts.com
in the stock web browser and tell me if the links are bold and italic. The image below shows that the links are bold and italic in the stock browser and only bold when using google chrome. This only started after the 4.3 update. The links are NOT supposed to look italic.

Browsers are different. Web developers are human, not perfect. If that's the only problem you can find with your entire phone you're lucky. Wait until you see a site you can't read at all in one particular browser.
 
Could you just tell me if your default browser is showing the text italic? I'm trying to troubleshoot the problem and by the way I made the website so I'm pretty sure it's a browser bug since it only started after the 4.3 update.
 
Looks just fine for me in the default browser (the default browser for my phone is Google Chrome).

I'm running the S4 GT-I9505G on Android 4.3.0 Build/JWR66Y.S003 with Chrome 30.0.1599.92

I used Boat Browser and the stock Sprint "internet" app to view the website. Results are the same as the first post.
 
Just downloaded a 28MB update which IS the bug fix for the original 4.3, and it DOES fix the stock browser bug with the bold text looking italic woohoo :)
 
Looks identical in Chrome and stock browser.
Using S4 LTE32 International Unlocked.

Could it be, that your update is modified by your carrier? Perhaps carrier's bloat, has messed up something with the stock browser.
You should check with other participants of this thread, whether they are on carrier models or unlocked units, to help you find the pattern.

Cheers and good luck :)

I can confirm the the 4.3 "bug fix" from AT&T fixed the page rendering issue. Though frankly, I never experienced it (or didn't notice) except for the example URL you provided. However, it didn't fix the things I was hoping it would fix: :(
