There may be some restrictions on the factor you can set. For example,
GDK had a long time limitation of only allowing integers (GDK_SCALE
needs to be an integer as far as I know). Maybe there is still some
restrictions. 144 is 1.5*96. You can try 192 too to see if the result is
better.

I can give you a screenshot of what I have to compare, but the text on
the tabs should be of the same size as the text in the omnibar (unlike
your very first screenshot).

Switching to an external screen for example. GTK apps are able to adapt
automatically. And now Chromium too, but the fonts become a bit
blurry. Stop/start Chromium fixes that.

Nothing suspicious here.
