Comment:

 This is indeed very similar to the problem we have discussed in #16020 so
 I propose we close this new ticket and keep the discussion going on the
 previous one.

 With regards to the Google fonts: No, the problem is not that the website
 is loading external assets. The problem was that the IP address of a
 visitor was sent to Google every time the visitor visited a website with
 Google Fonts enabled. The solution there is to self-host the Google Fonts.
