      For being self hosted and disconnected from the spying services, it has too many references to Google APIs and analytics.

      Can those be cleansed or removed?

        I guess you mean the usage of google fonts and things like that? This is probably best reported upstream. There is already

          @girish ah it was for the ReCaptchas which I never saw since it's blocked here. Thanks.

            For interest, I'm finding https://www.localcdn.org handy for filtering out that sort of trojan tracking plague from the web browser at-least.

              @marcusquinn uMatrix browser extension does it for me.

                @robi Looks like uMatrix is something different, more like uBlock Origin, which seems to work well enough coupled with LocalCDN, also seems to be EOL'd:

                  usage of google fonts and things like that

                  On that topic it would be really cool to have a feature in Cloudron similar to what LocalCDN does in the user's browser, blocking or limiting tracking and data harvesting exposure to FAANG and others.

                    @yusf Interesting idea! Maybe worth just suggesting it to the author that there would be interest in a server-side version: https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/issues

                    Maybe @Lonk with his OpenVPN project would have ideas on this too?

                      I couldn't think of any more features to add aside from new protocols, but this would increase speed (especially important over VPN), and reduce tracking. I'd have to find a way to intercept and deliver "local" VPN Client packages / fonts / etc. I'll have to research how LocalCDN does it. I'm also going to start using LocalCDN, it's brilliant.

                      How do you find all of these amazing products? 😂

                        I didn’t mean for it to be another Cloudron app. Instead I meant implementing it as a service layer directly in Cloudron.

                          @lonk been online as long as the internet 🙂 And, recently very much woke to the privacy issues when these behemoths behave like drunks in a brewery for their data-mining through so many browser trojans by proxy.
