I love the extension for finding fonts. I have to turn it off and on though. I have an issue with MS Edge not allowing drop down menus to work when it is on. Not going to uninstall it as it does a great job at detecting fonts.

As has been previously noted, this extension alters a site's CSS therefore making it essentially useless for web developers

Useful extension with a major flaw.
I love using this extension. It is super simple and as someone who does not have a good eye for font design, it is tremendously helpful for when I need to work on presentations or documents when fonts matter.
That being said, the extension has a major flaw: it has invasive CSS that causes pages to not render properly. I have had many cases where the margin:none and padding:none applied globally has made sites not look right or have functionality issues. It should be scoped to just the extension, and not impact how the sites are rendered.
