Review Summary
Users appreciate the extension's concept of previewing Google Fonts and ease of generating font stylesheet links. However, many report issues like inability to preview system fonts, lack of saved settings, poor handling of font weights, insufficient font filtering, and slow or unresponsive performance. The extension does not dynamically apply fonts to pages and often requires reconfiguration each time it is used, which reduces usability. Overall, while it has a useful purpose, these limitations hinder its effectiveness according to multiple reviews.
