Font Inspector Extension

Font Inspector is an extension that helps you easily inspect all fonts within a website.

To start working with this addon, simply click on the toolbar icon once to open the in-page UI. Then, click on any HTML element that you want to see the font info.

Please note that, as long as the UI is open, no links (or other functions) on the page will work. The in-page UI has several pieces of information related to the selected font such as font size, style, color, family, etc. Besides, there is information about the current tab such as id, width, height, title, and URL. If you click on the toolbar icon or press the escape button on your keyboard, the in-page UI will disappear and all the links within the page work as normal.

To report bugs, please fill the bug report form on the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/font-inspector.html).

logan (ID: 000000c6650600d1) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/24/2021 The Concept is good and useful sometimes (that is why i gave it a second star) but the issue is the UI, The UI never shoes up when you click on the toolbar icon and thefore has no use. I would love to see this extension actually being used hopefully the developers can get it fixed! B)
