About Font Fix for WhatsApp Browser
Full description
WhatsApp Web forces the Roboto font on all your conversations, overriding your browser's default font. Font Fix for WhatsApp Browser silently removes that override the moment the page loads — and gives you a full set of controls to make WhatsApp Web look exactly the way you want.
── FEATURES ──
SYSTEM FONT RESTORE
Automatically removes the roboto-font class WhatsApp injects into the page. Works instantly on load, and keeps watching in case WhatsApp tries to re-apply it.
CUSTOM FONT PICKER
Choose from 8 web-safe fonts guaranteed to work on any operating system — Windows, macOS, and Linux. Options include Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Trebuchet MS, Georgia, Times New Roman, and Courier New, plus your browser's System Default.
New in 1.73:
• New: One-click style presets — Compact, Default, Comfortable, and
Large instantly set font size, line height, and weight together.
• Fix: The bug-report email link no longer shows a stale version number.
New in 1.7:
CUSTOM FONT NAME INPUT:
Add a "Custom…" option at the bottom of the font dropdown. When selected, a text input appears where users can type any font installed on their system (e.g. Inter, Segoe UI, SF Pro). No new permissions needed.
FONT SIZE CONTROL
Adjust the font size anywhere from 12px to 22px using a simple slider. A live preview shows exactly how your text will look before you apply any changes.
LINE HEIGHT CONTROL
Fine-tune the spacing between lines (1.0 to 2.0) for a more comfortable reading experience — especially useful for long conversations.
ENABLE / DISABLE TOGGLE
Turn the extension on or off instantly from the popup without reloading the page. Handy for a quick side-by-side comparison with WhatsApp's default look.
LIVE PREVIEW
Every change you make in the popup is previewed in real time before you commit to it.
── PRIVACY ──
Font Fix collects zero data. No tracking, no analytics, no external requests. Your font preference is saved locally on your device using browser storage and never leaves it.
── PERMISSIONS ──
Storage — used only to remember your font preference across sessions. Nothing else.
── COMPATIBILITY ──
Works on web.whatsapp.com. Supports Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
