Dear Maintainer,

webext-privacy-badger pulls in fonts-open-sans when installed.

Does it really need that font to function properlly?
Or is it just more of a recommendation to present its text nicely?

If the font is a hard dependency, then please ignore this report.
If not, please soften the dependency into a suggests or recommends.

Thanks!
Amr

currently, it does because the html option-menu uses it and strictly
references it.

IMHO, this should be patched out to use (any) 'Sans' and let the
browser/system choose whatever font it finds suitable for 'Sans', rather
than depending on a specific implementation.
