发现这个扩展导致了很多字体粗体失效。 比如知乎专栏的标题应该是粗体的但用了这个扩展没有粗体。 很多英文页面比如 vue/chakra 文档也无法粗体。 发现用了这个扩展假如页面用 Segoe UI/Arial 等字体都有这个问题。 无法粗体很影响体验全页面只有正常字重。 发现扩展在 head>style 里加了很多 @font-face 尝试删除掉就能正常粗体了。 是没考虑粗体么还是说刻意去掉了粗体呢。

just perfect. other similar addons always have some issues (ugly fonts for numbers, or incorrect display of some symbols, e.g. in weibo.com). This addon is perfect.

Great Yahei font. It makes some poorly designed websites easier to read. I wish the author can add "whitelist" option such that I can avoid applying Yahei font to some certain websites.
