I've used the google chrome monospaced font extension, but I'm not comfortable assuming that everyone else uses it.
Also, google decide to break something different fairly frequently. I'm not sure if this is because they hired management people from microsoft or what. According to their job listings, they are pretty conservative about both management practices and computing technologies. Their days of providing high quality, in-depth information are starting to look like a thing of the past. They do have some wild and fun projects going on, but anything fun like that is pretty much something you have to make happen yourself - there's too many people with too many different ideas of "fun" for things to work any other way, I guess. Anyways, it's not like they're going away any time soon, but money brings problems and they've got a lot of that now.
