Please tell that to all the people that host websites with Google Fonts. Block those, and the entire website seizes to work. Seems a little ridiculous for using a nicer font.

My uMatrix configuration, which I'm pretty sure is mostly default, allows Google Fonts by allowing the CSS to come through.

What really drives me nuts is playing JavaScript Whack-A-Mole just to read some text. Trust me, you don't actually need an AJAX call mediated by something hosted on code.jquery.com just to display a bunch of text and images. Web browsers have been able to handle that since before JavaScript existed, and they can still handle it today.
