Description

With the changes introduced in insiders-4.26.0, the privacy plugin doesn't properly fetch the Google fonts anymore.

To reproduce, create a minimal MkDocs project using the mkdocs.yml below. Build and serve the project via mkdocs serve. (The bug does not occur when the project is opened locally, i.e., via file:// protocol)

The fonts aren't rendered properly, and there's an error message in the console:

The stylesheet http://127.0.0.1:8000/assets/external/fonts.googleapis.com/css was not loaded because its MIME type, “application/octet-stream”, is not “text/css”.

Expected behaviour

Fonts should be fetched properly.

Actual behaviour

See description.

Steps to reproduce

Thanks for reporting. Should be fixed in squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders@7ab6c9de7. It seems that I mixed up the paths, but I wonder that I didn't encounter the error before. Might be related to stale cache on my machine 😅
