The easiest way to identify fonts on web pages.

What is the easiest way to find out the fonts used in a webpage? Firebug and Webkit Inspector are easy enough to use for developers. However, for others, this should not be necessary. With this extension, you could inspect web fonts by just hovering on them. It is that simple and elegant.

It also detects the services used for serving the web fonts. Supports Typekit and Google Font API.

I like the extension, but Edge says it contains malware and has disabled it more than once. Who ever created this extension needs to fix it.

This is the best font finder for designers and developers. I want the font color, font size, font weight, and font name at the same time, in the same extension. This is what you get with this nifty extension.
