- (2023-02-16) Bruno Vinícius: Perfeito!!!!
- (2023-02-10) Иван Онже: Абсолютное говённое расширение, потому что читает стили с рендеренных на серверах стилях. Я и так могу просто в элементах браузера посмотреть какие у них стили там дефолтные. Нужно определение фонта с клиентской стороны, а не серверной, так что в помойку. В теории можно посмотреть фонт если зайти на какой то "пустой ресурс", вообще без стилей и без всего чисто index.html c пустым инпутом куда вставить текст и возможно эта штука что-то определит, но я не уверен даже и в этом.
- (2023-02-05) Binson Feng: This is GREAT! Thanks ;)
- (2023-01-22) Tidy Roach: Thanks, man!
- (2022-12-28) RRV RRV: Odlično radi, u tren oka mi je dao rezultat koji m ije trebao!
- (2022-12-15) Mido liu: 不准，不同的字体说是一个字体。
- (2022-12-07) Сергей Румянцев: Отличное расширение, спасибо! Есть пожелание исправить иконку расширения для темной темы Хрома, полностью сливается с фоном панели расширений.
- (2022-12-02) David: It doesn't works. I can't pin the icon on my chrome extensions bar.
- (2022-11-21) Thomas Black: The extension will be useful for those who work a lot with text documents, it will save time when working with fonts and defining them. No undue complexity. I hovered over the text and all the information was received.
- (2022-11-10) Eric Niwinski: Works on EDGE perfectly! After install, just refresh the page and hover any text to see fonta name or click to reveal more details. Simple as that!
- (2022-10-06) prasanth ponmala: it's not working properly
- (2022-09-14) Mert Dirice: For people in the back saying clicking the icon doesn't do anything: you just need to refresh the page and it'll start working.
- (2022-09-14) Noor Farah Ain Azmi: Step to use: 1. Go to any webpage and then click on WhatFont extension 2. Then, click on "this can read and change site data" 3. Then, click on second bullet 4. Then open again WhatFont extension and click the same "this can read and change site data" for second time 5. Click the first top bullet "when you click this extension". Then a popup message will appear and click "Reload" 6. After the website reload. Click on the WhatFont again. And there's a small labelled "Exit WhatFont". Then you can enjoy hover the text and the type of font will appear. Wish you luck and enjoy use this extension. Very handful!!
- (2022-09-07) Ananda Rajeshwaran.J: awesome
- (2022-08-27) Charlie Stephen: Terrible. I couldn't get it to work at all
- (2022-08-20) Zvonimir Bosec: Sometimes it works , sometimes it doesnt. Even in the same browsing session the results are mixed. Sometimes when I click on the bookmarked icon it acts like I right-clicked it, it shows the options and I cant hover over text.
- (2022-08-01) Darryl Edwards: App is OK but find it unusual that I can't examine font via the right click menu on the page. It's not good UX to access from a menu within a menu. Even if I pin to taskbar, it's not as accessible as it would be via right click on the page. Uninstalled and installed "Find Font" instead
- (2022-07-31) Jennifer Reed: I design Word documents and often visit my clients' websites to get a feel for their design preferences. Previously, I had to go through rigamarole: clicking F12 and digging through the source code. It was difficult because I had no idea what I was doing. Using the WhatFont extension is so easy! Click it and hover over the text on the page. That's it. It also displays the font weight, size, and even the color (so helpful). I highly recommend this extension to anyone wanting to know what fonts are used on websites.
- (2022-07-28) prinny cupcakes: hmm extension seems to be good & working.. not too sure about all the virus problems.. anyone can confirm again? i've had the app for many years
- (2022-07-07) Mounir El-Abbas: Comes freshly packed with a virus Do not download. It comes with a browser-redirect feature that is not welcome.
- (2022-06-25) Jules the Boombox Zombie (Inactive on YT): It helps me locate where my favorite fonts are and the ones exclusively used in the Starfall.com website (e.g. Starfall Block).
- (2022-03-18) Michele Rumi: Amazing, especially love that it also gives the color and so much other info
- (2022-03-06) Máté Kuna: Wasnt disappointed there is an addon even like this for chrome! After clicking the addon icon it instantly shows font name, and more details as well!
- (2022-03-01) Rahul Hasan: i think its a great and lightweight plugin...
- (2022-02-23) Fynn: Doesn't seem to do anything . . . except read my information on all websites.
- (2022-02-23) Samuli Asmala: BEWARE OF MALWARE! When I modified my Google search results this extension always forwarded me to searchwithpure.com. After removing this extension the problem disappeared.
- (2022-02-13) SoloSlater: Works very good. Fonts are cool
- (2022-02-09) Anthony Tumiwa: it's not really accurate, i got some wrong identification
- (2022-02-03) Marta Rabadan: A aquellos que no os funciona, seguramente tenéis que reiniciar el navegador. Una vez reiniciado clickais en el botón de la extensión y funciona guay.
