    WhatsApp Web forces the Roboto font on all text by injecting a 'roboto-font' class into the page. This extension silently removes that class as soon as the page loads—and keeps watching for it to ensure the change persists.
    
        Features:
    
        - Single Purpose: Only targets the font class.
        -   Privacy Focused: No data collection, no tracking, and no external server     communication.
        - Lightweight: Zero configuration required. It just works in the background.
    
        Disclaimer: This is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by WhatsApp or Meta.
