> Half the websites we visit host their fonts on Google domains, where is the outrage over that?

Copy that. Thats a serious privacy leak, Referrers, none of the adblockers handle today.

uBlock blocks remote fonts. Between sites hosting their own assets becoming old fashioned and font's being used for icons it breaks a lot of things.

I'm hoping CDN's get the same privacy treatment as facebook and the like have been getting lately and we can go back to a self hosted world.

ublock Origin blocks third-party content, including silly fonts hosted by Google, just fine for me.

I recall seeing fonts.googleapi.com being allowed by uBO (in medium mode) once, so it needs be double checked.

Also, it not just fonts, but jquery and other stuff. And two places to check: Referrers HTTP header and meta element Referrer Policy of the page
