> aren't they including built-in tracker blocking with a 'strict' list that can be chosen This is not in any way better than ublock origin. Anyone who knows to select the strict list also knows how to install an adblocker. > If they default disabled web fonts, geolocation etc., they'd lose whatever little market share they have as those have become important web tech already I am not saying that they should disable them by default, but they should at least make it easier for people who care about their privacy to disable them. (Although I do not think that any desktop user is going to miss geolocation) In addition to that I am annoyed that they keep supporting such technologies that can be used for tracking in the working groups rather than push back on them.

> web fonts I installed NoScript recently and was surprised to see so many sites linking to typekit or other centralized repos for JS related to rendering fonts. Why do sites using webfonts have JS dependencies? Is it something to do with licensing? Between products like DTM and typekit, Adobe has been quietly positioning itself to be a tracking/advert power house.

  For paid fonts where you license them for web use (sometimes by the view/download!), it isn’t unusual for them to require you to use their css/js/etc to embed the font so they can track where your license is being used, by how many people, etc. That’s the justification they present, at least.
