This plugin does what it claims, but it’s very buggy and frustrating to use. The selection of fonts is limited, and you can’t add your own, which is a huge downside. The fonts available are basic Google ones, nothing special. On top of that, when you visit a website, you often have to refresh the page a couple of times to get the font to show up, and even then, it sometimes doesn’t work. You’ll need to toggle the font changer icon on and off for it to appear, which is just an unnecessary extra step. If it weren’t so glitchy and inconvenient, this might deserve a 4-star rating, but I can only give it 2 stars. The lack of font options and the repeated hassle of refreshing pages makes it not worth the trouble. I’ll probably uninstall it soon if I find a better font changer.
