Is Channel Blocker safe?
Channel Blocker loads Google Fonts stylesheets from its extension pages when those pages open.
The extension's configuration, popup, FAQ, and bug-report pages include remote CSS from fonts.googleapis.com. When those UI pages load, the browser requests the stylesheet and sends normal request metadata, such as IP address and headers, to Google Fonts.
