2022-08-31 | Walter Pratt | Issues: 1) replaces to Arial!!! My eyes are bleeding. Should better have a user-configured default sans font; 2) replaces monospaced to Arial!!! My eyes are bleeding. Should better have a user-configured default monospace font; 3) replaces serif to Arial!!! My eyes are bleeding. Should better have a user-configured default serif font. 4) Probably breaks font metrics, so on-line editors misplace text caret. For me it's definitely broken. Otherwise extension is working good, it really makes all those mad designers to behaviour nice. But with 1-4 problems, this extension is useless. | ||

2019-10-02 | Vlad Tyum | Rudie, thank you very much for the extension. Yet accounting an issue. Nowadays it changes fonts to limited list like Arial, Verdana. Could you please add "Default" option? | ||

2019-02-26 | David | Fantastic way to fix unreadable fonts on websites. Finally, I can get clear, unaliased, sans serif fonts without resorting to a reader app (Pocket/Instapaper/Mercury). Interface is very simple and each website is permanently fixed. | ||
