Avoiding big spaces in fully justified text

To format paragraphs, I use text-align: justify, but I have the problem that there are big spaces between words. In Firefox and older IE, one solution was to use text-justify: distribute, but Chrome doesn't support it.

How can I solve this problem across browsers?

Example of big spaces:

p {
  width: 200px;
  text-align: justify;
}
