add in a personalized font button at the top of the main page with different options, but they actually all just log you out and close the browser window / tab

add in personalized fonts but charge money for them. $10 for a new font $5 to change someone else's font

There are many reasons to use chrome. Extension support. Better web rendering. Easy portability between Android devices. It is the superior browsing solution and I stand by this assessment!

Chrome's also great because of extensions like SomethingAwful Fixes.

I'm sorry, but someone has to be that guy who hates change. Might as well be me.

What does "web 2.0" mean and what aspects of the font make it appear to be a part of that?

It's clean and corporate and you'd expect to see it on tech company commercials with the ukelele in the background and the product name is in lowercase

but it's a nice neutral font so w/e

Yeah this is actually a lot more readable than Open Sans IMO. Even if it does look like an anorexic Impact.

...change the font to Impact

Somewhat serious post.

I like Arial or anything that comes closest to it.

It is what we use at work. Specifically for ADA reasons. Supposed to be easiest to read for anyone with vision problems. We do everything in Arial 12.

I'm not an expert like some folks here. Just suggesting what we use.

All the classy people use Old English.

Also, it's amazing how much discussion changing the font to a slightly different take on a Sans typeface will generate. I think you could change the square pictures that buttress the ads to hardcore gay porn and it would generate less posts in QCS.
