Works just as I wanted. It lets me use the fonts I installed on my system, unlike other extensions which limit me to some they have hard-coded in the extension.
Also, if you want to apply it to only a few sites rather than all, you simply have to restrict its access to only those sites from the extension settings of your browser. I have seen people give bad review because they are too ignorant to know this, so I'm educating these people.
Thanks for the simple and lightweight extension.

OMG, Thank you!!!!!
This has been making me CRAZY for weeks!!!!! Ever since I got my new AIO desktop computer and it's running Windows 11 and websites that display completely fine on my laptop (which is still running Windows 10), and display fine on my Android tablet, now show HUGE pixels instead of text -- but only on certain websites and only for certain text, like a Head or subhead. I tried everything from loading the affected font to setting specific fonts in Chrome and nothing worked -- UNTIL THIS!!! (FYI, I use Chrome as my default browser but it also does it in Microsoft Edge.)
I can't tell you the number of hours -- no, it must be days-worth by now -- that I've spent searching the web for a solution for this. And this fixed it in mere minutes! (at least for the sites that I already know have a problem). WOW! Thanks!!
