    No, LocalCDN blocks Google Fonts by default. Just allow it globally for all websites or only for YouTube in the options of LocalCDN.

    Not really. The extension blocks Google Fonts in the default settings. It's all described in the FAQs: https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/wiki#user-content-26-i-ve-a-problem-with-google-services-e-g-google-maps-or-youtube

    It stops Google Maps from working. I was installing Windows 11 on a new computer when I found Google Maps wasn't working. I feared I was going to have to start installation all over again (HORROR!).

    Based on another forum comment I tried troubleshooting and eventually found LocalCDN is the single addon that breaks Google Maps.

    This is related to Google Fonts, which are blocked by default in LocalCDN.


    You can find details in the FAQs: https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/wiki/Home#26-i-ve-a-problem-with-google-services-e-g-google-maps


    Solution: Allow LocalCDN to load Google Fonts, then the buttons will work again.

    There could be various reasons:
    * strong Same-Origin-Policy (serverside)
    * crossorigin/integrity attributes (serverside)
    * ServiceWorkers (serverside)
    * missing frameworks (LocalCDN)

    You can test a website online or manually:
    * https://www.localcdn.org/test/check

    You can always report the website as an issue at codeberg or by e-mail. Then I could see what the problem is and improve the extension:

    Thanks for your feedback, but can you describe this a little more? :)

    EDIT: Probably a misunderstanding. The user was looking for an extension to replace fonts. But that is not the job of LocalCDN.

    Immediately found a pretty huge bug after installing. Wouldn't load a site with a preloader using modernizr and a few CDNs. The preloader is on a three second timer too; just kept going indefinitely. Uninstalled and boom site is up. Pretty ridiculous bug if you ask me

    It would be nice if you report a bug on Gitlab and share the URL. Only then can I look at it. Did you check if it might be a "Same-Origin-Policy" issue? If so, it isn't possible to exchange a framework (e.g. Modernizr) because the webserver forbids to load a framework from another source.
