i love this extension but there is one problem with the pixel text is so big it sometimes ruins how certain websites look i would love if there was a setting that fixes the text size.

One should b-able to change the fonts in this add-on so you can draw your own fonts like in the c64 days.. your own personalized look and feel ;) make an font editor in it and grow ;)
