https://i.postimg.cc/QC1f6M4J/screenshot.gif for an example on its home
page. Is there no way to use my own font settings since I dislike
theirs? :(

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering. :)

:) NY! Let's hope 2021 will be better, but it doesn't seem like it so
far. :( Note: A fixed width font (Courier, Monospace, etc.) is required
to see this signature correctly.

I've read that you can alter specific pages in usercontent.css in your chrome folder in your profile folder. You can google
usercontent.css as I don't have any idea how to advise, just that I've seen examples of major changes to pages like facebook etc.

The usual way of altering fonts on a webpage, or anything else - like
suppressing parts of it or changing the order of the sections, is by
writing a userstyle - which is a block of css.

I use the addon Stylus to do that (I used to use Stylish). It's much
easier than using userContent. You have to know some basic css, and
how to use the developer toolbox to find the classes or IDs to restyle.
But to change the font of everything you could try
body {font-family:"My font"!important}

But pages built entirely from javascript - which that one probably is -
can be tricky.
