When I tried self hosting it I kept getting trackers blocked by ublock. From just my self hosted instance I get 0 blocked, but with the materialious frontend it would keep climbing. I killed my instance when I reached 90 blocked. It was ublock in hard mode
Materialious contains zero trackers. Believe this was a issue with ublock falsely flagging local fonts as trackers or something, someone else open a issue on the repo with a similar issue. Feel free to review the source code for any trackers.
I assumed it was remote Fonts or something, I may try it again.
Materialious doesn't use remote fonts by default, only as a backup if local font loading fails. For some reason ublock in hard mode makes local font fail loading & remote font is used.
Interesting
You shouldn’t put ublock in hard mode if you don’t know the tech behind it.
Behind ublock or behind materialious? I understand what ublock hard mode is. It blocks all 3rd party frames, scripts, and just 3rd party in general. Minor benefit over ublock medium mode but important in my setup.
