Detect Font Extension

\"What's that gorgeous font?\", you ask... Well, now you'll know!

Click the icon in the browser toolbar to activate font detection mode, and hover over parts of the page to reveal which font is being used.

Unlike other font-detecting extensions, this won't ask for full access to every website you visit. It's only activated when you press the button in the toolbar, so you stay in control of your privacy.
