I disabled web fonts by default in uBlock Origin. The internet is so much better without them. I selectively enable them for sites I use frequently that have special icon fonts that mess up the interface if they can't load.
- bee_rider 4y agoIs there a need to use uBlock for this sort of thing? In Firefox, there's a button to allow sites to use their own fonts, in the 'advanced' fonts menu. I don't see any reason why a website should pick it's own fonts. I go back and forth on allowing it to set background and text colors. Forcing black text on a white background does make some pages pretty ugly, but it does force everything to be readable.
- eloisius 4y agoThere isn't, except that it makes it possible to selectively enable them on certain sites. They don't bother me for things that I use regularly and already have them cached, like my bank. In fact, without them a lot of UI elements like carets and button icons become junk.
- bee_rider 4y agoYeah, the caret issue was a little weird to get used to, but I find it kind of funny now.
