If you're requesting data over a network, ultimately you have to trust someone. Fwiw bunny.net is pretty well respected. I view them as one level "below" the mega-enterprise CDNs like Cloudfront/Akamai, the same way Digital Ocean is one level "below" AWS/GCP/Azure

If I self-host my fonts, the people I have to trust are only those people I have no choice but to trust: those who get my site into the user's browser. Every additional cross-domain request I add is an extra party I have to trust.
