It seems (from my blocker extension) that www.kiwix.org needs external Web fonts from:

  • Google
  • Fontawesome
  • Cloudflare

image

Usually this approach is used to deliver quickly, but:

  • This is a privacy concern because it leaks a lot of information about the visitor
  • Considering that these font should be cached and are small files, the performance improvement in neglictible

Here a good explanation of the topic and a story of a Web site fined by a German court for "privacy violation" because of them https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2022/01/31/website-operator-fined-for-using-google-fonts-the-cloudy-way/
