“No web fonts for elements containing multiple characters” would be a great ublock rule, now I think about it...

  That'd break sites that use ligature-based icon fonts, with the actual content being an icon identifier like "thumbs-up" and an OpenType ligature rule in the font to render this as an icon glyph.

    Could you just get the icon name in that case? For me it would be good-enough, or, in many cases, better than the crammed design-first icons (Slack, I'm pointing at you!).

      In theory, it's legible; but often, rendering the icon name (which may be up to a dozen letters or so) will totally break a layout that was designed to accommodate a single glyph.

    Ahh good point. Not sure if I have seen one of those used before; they seem to have a good fallback though.
