That's exactly why I should be the one picking my fonts, not whoever's site I'm viewing. My taste might be subjectively terrible, but no one else uses my devices, so why should someone else be sending me fonts when I just want to use whatever terrible font I like?

It's been a pretty terrible day for the Web since webfonts were born then, since every site tries to force a single font to everyone for branding reasons alone. Case in point, Atlassian's hideous new font (which I've personally blocked using uBlock Origin, lol)

I do really wish that instead of moving in that direction, that customization was the norm, with sites specifying "serif" and "sans-serif" and users were assumed to be setting those settings to what they prefer. Similar to how dark mode is now respected on at least the plurality of "important" sites.
