Comic Sans MS as standard font in Google Chrome

I always was a little bit unhappy, that it was a bit tricky to set Chrome to my preferred reading font "Comic Sans Ms":
goto:
Options > Under the Hood > Web Content > Customize Fonts...
and
at the page Fonts and Encoding set your standard font to Comic Sans MS
and this (on my laptop at least) didn't work out for all pages with a standard font set by the page itself...

BUT a few days ago I stumbled upon this:

Comic Sans for Everyone

"""Here at Google, the Webmaster Team is always running experiments and conducting research to improve user experience and increase conversion rates across our websites.

Following some rigorous user testing of 41 different fonts, investigating how each affected user experience, we discovered one font consistently outperformed all others when it comes to user satisfaction, level of engagement, understanding web content, productivity, click-through rates and conversion rates: Comic Sans.

We’ll therefore be rolling out Comic Sans as our default font across all Google products on April 4, 2011.

For today only, we’re inviting a limited number of lucky Google users to take part in our Google Labs Trusted Tester Beta Preview Sandbox program. To participate, follow these easy steps:

  • If you haven’t done already, install Google Chrome.
  • Open Google Chrome and install the “Comic Sans for Everyone” extension from the Chrome Web Store.
  • Your account will be automatically activated once the extension is installed, allowing you to browse the entire World Wide Web using Comic Sans. In the extremely unlikely event that you decide to opt-out of the preview, you can simply disable or uninstall the extension by visiting your Extensions page.

For the latest news and updates, be sure to follow @GoogleWebTeam on Twitter.""""

worked like a charm and now I'm happy :-)
