I was thinking the same thing, really. In most cases, I like my pages to look about the same. I like my font some generic, seen-everywhere san serif font, I like my monospace a standard monospace. I have no problems with other fonts existing, but I could easily see some people that do, and would change everything around. For them, there'll be a Firefox (or other) extension that'll turn it off. The valid reasons I could see for a downvote for you are: * asking a question that doesn't further the use of web fonts for their own end --- which seems to be the focus of the article * calling designers "self-absorbed" and implying that novel fonts/etc creates worse user experience.

GP here, and yeah - downvotes for tone and for going off-topic are probably deserved. The mainstream browser devs have a clear remit to faithfully implement specs as standardised, and to support new and upcoming features as best they can. Mozilla in particular has a vision of just about everything moving to the web, so they're not going to do anything to limit the platform. Things like user preferences, browser extensions and bookmarklets are another field altogether, though, and users should make the web work to their liking as long as they're legally and technically able to.
