Verdana is sans serif, so not a replacement for Times New Roman.

Also, the website styles don't specify font-family at all, so you are complaining about your own browser defaults.

I think they meant that Verdana is a nice replacement for Times if you care about readability and presentation.

Good pickup on the font being the default browser choice, I didn't notice that!

But that's not true at all! Maybe the point was that web should use sans-serif instead of serif, but that statement (and I hope I'm not making a straw man here) is as a blanket invalid as well (in my opinion, ofc).
