Chrome now draws the popup in the monospace font that body declares, as Firefox does.

Cause: Chrome adds a stylesheet of its own to extension pages, body { font-family: (system font); font-size: 75% }, outside any cascade layer. Tailwind 4 puts font-mono in its utilities layer, and any rule outside a layer beats it.

Fix: body carries font-mono!, Tailwind's important modifier, with a comment above the body tag saying why. An important declaration beats Chrome's normal one whatever the layers.

Tests: each end-to-end suite checks that the popup's body font is the --font-mono stack. The Chrome one fails without the fix.

What the diff does not show:

  • Chrome still draws the popup's text at 12px, not the 14px text-sm asks for. The cause is the same stylesheet. It is left alone here because fixing it would change the layout of every screen in Chrome. Filed as #456.
  • The tests write the stack out in full, so changing --font-mono in src/popup/styles/main.css means changing both tests.

Judgement call: the Firefox check goes beyond the issue, which asks only for the Chrome one. It holds both browsers to the same font.

Model: opus-5-5

Chrome now draws the popup in the monospace font that `body` declares, as Firefox does.

Tests: each end-to-end suite checks that the popup's `body` font is the `--font-mono` stack. The Chrome one fails without the fix.

Chrome adds a stylesheet of its own to extension pages that sets the font
on body. Tailwind 4 puts its classes in a cascade layer, and a rule outside
any layer wins over them, so font-mono lost and Chrome drew the popup in
the system font. body now carries font-mono!, which marks the class
important. Both end-to-end suites check the popup's font.

The same stylesheet also makes Chrome draw the popup's text at 12px rather
than text-sm's 14px; that is unchanged here and filed as issue 456.
