User reviews
Pros
- Allows customization of fonts per script, helping improve font display for multilingual webpages.
- Works well with fonts installed on the user's system, improving webpage readability.
- The configuration menu is well designed, enabling customization of various scripts.
- Solves certain font consistency issues, especially for Chinese and other complex scripts.
- Useful for setting default fonts for specific languages or scripts, e.g., Japanese.
Cons
- Does not always work as intended; sometimes applying font changes affects all scripts instead of just the selected one.
- Lacks support or proper handling for some languages and scripts such as Korean, Bengali, Urdu, and Persian.
- Does not override preset font settings on many websites, limiting customization.
- Some users find it difficult or confusing to configure and get it working properly.
- Has not been updated in many years, which may impact compatibility and feature improvements.
Recent reviews
Does not work for customizing font sizes per script. If you pick a script and change any of its font size settings, this changes the sizes for *all* scripts.

Generally good, but it's hard to make multilingual webpages look good. For example certain Latin words with diacritics look bad on a webpage labelled as Chinese because the Chinese font doesn't have full Latin coverage, but using the Latin font for the whole webpage doesn't work either.

doesn't seem to work. setting Latin script to inter and 新ゴ for Japanese seems to just use inter for everything

Extension safety
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk
impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of
damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your
personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they
do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Advanced Font Settings does not require any sensitive permissions.
Risk impact analysis details
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on
Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been
around, and other signals about the
Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change
as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always
exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
Advanced Font Settings has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
