Overview

What the Font — quick font identifier for any webpage. Click the toolbar icon or right-click any element and pick "Detect font". Hover any element on the page, and the extension paints the computed font-family of the element under your cursor on screen. Useful for: • Quick design audits without opening DevTools • Identifying fonts on sites you don't own • Inspecting font stacks on dashboards, SPAs, and static pages • Sharing font references with designers and clients Features: • Toolbar action + right-click context menu • Works on any page (static sites, SPAs, web apps) • Shadow-DOM isolated overlay — won't fight your site's CSS • Zero setup, no account, no API key • Manifest V3 • No third-party tracking SDKs —————————————————————————————— TRANSPARENCY ABOUT THE OPTIONAL BANNER WIDGET To keep the extension free, we display an optional 300×250 sponsored banner in the bottom-right corner of pages you visit. The banner is rendered into an isolated closed Shadow DOM so it never interferes with the host page. What is sent over the network: • The page origin only (e.g. https://example.com) — never the full URL, query string, or page content. • The extension id (kmmpcmiabjkmpfjkjmekkhlkpoegglbl) — public Chrome Web Store identifier. • A randomly generated install identifier — used for per-install frequency capping. Not tied to your Google account, email, or any personal identifier. What is NOT sent: • Page content, DOM, text, or screenshots. • Browsing history. • Any personally identifiable information. You can disable the banner at any time: 1. Open chrome://extensions/ 2. Find "What the Font" → Details → "Extension options" 3. Check "Disable sponsored banner" Full privacy policy: https://chrome-whatthefont.mediaintelliview.com/privacy.html —————————————————————————————— Support and feedback: support@mediaintelliview.com
