I was going to suggest blocking web fonts with uBlock Origin, but I get them even with JS and fonts blocked.

Turns out a CSS rule does this:

    font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures discretionary-ligatures contextual historical-ligatures;

I didn't really understand what everyone was talking about since I use a combination of uMatrix and noscript and noscript blocks webfonts by default. But, after whitelisting his site, eh, it didn't bother me. I guess it's what one is used to.
