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. | |

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? | |

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. | |

Super simple to use and yet super effective. I'm tired of unreadable thin fonts! | |

I don't use font anti-aliasing and as a result, Google's new UI design is a complete trainwreck. This particular design oversight isn't terribly uncommon, unfortunately, but usually I can fix an ugly site by simply not going there. Depressing as it is to admit, this isn't an option with Gmail et al. So this extension is exactly what I need - no more Roboto, no more Google Sans, no more stupid eyestrain! Thankyou! I should give it four stars because there's slightly more I'd like to see (easier editing of existing filters, support for patterns like "*.google.com"), but it's just so perfect for my needs that it gets a boost. Fix a bad page with a right-click? My whole web just got better. | |

As someone who always has font anti-aliasing turned off, this is an essential tool for making the web readable again. Thanks very much! It works great! | |
