Remove Helvetica Neue

Replaces Helvetica Neue font family from CSS font stack to use next fallback.

Remove Helvetica Neue - Chrome Extension

"Remove Helvetica Neue" is a specialized Chrome extension focused on optimising the appearance of webpages by replacing the Helvetica Neue font family from the CSS font stack. Unlike other extensions, it doesn't automatically provide Arial as fallback, which ensures respect for the designer's second choice of font family. This subtle modification enhances readability and accessibility in web design.
