Extension summary

There are people out there who dislike Helvetica.

I am not one of those people.

But maybe you are. Maybe you're disgusted by Helvetica's perfectly formed letters and bold yet versatile style. If that's the case, you may find HelvetiGone! useful. When you come across a particularly offending instance of Helvetica, simply click the HelvetiGone! icon in Chrome and it will be scrubbed away.

User reviews

It's the first thing that actually allows me to read sites(like Twitter) that use Helvetica. The other extensions and CSS tricks won't work. Helvetica is otherwise unreadable in this browser. I wish I didn't have to press a button to reactivate it every time I change the page, though.

Is turn Helvetica to Comic Sans! RUN
by Lucas Pchara, 2014-04-22

Seriously? Comic Sans? Chrome does not render Helvetica well and generally has a number of issues with it - would be nice to revert to arial since Helvetica looks like anything but a font in Chrome :(
