### Privacy exposure reduction: local mirroring
[**Important note:** local mirroring is currently know to break web fonts of these end up being locally cached: [issue #291](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/291).]
One way users increase their privacy exposure is through [content delivery networks](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network) ("CDN") and likes. Good examples of CDN are `ajax.googleapis.com`, `cdnjs.cloudflare.com`, `googletagservices.com`, etc. These servers are used to serve resources to countless web sites.
When a resources is pulled from one of these CDNs, typically the [referrer header](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer) is set in the HTTP request, which allows ubiquitous CDNs to collect data about your browsing habits. Not good for privacy.
