I understand the problem, however I do not see why LibreJS could not
whitelist MathJax. It is a technical limitation of current LibreJS
implementation, not the problem of software freedom.

To clarify, software freedom has little to do with privacy. Currently,
ox-html does comply with
https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html
Of course, it does not mean that privacy should be ignored. If you have
any ideas or patches that can improve the current situation with
the mathjax coudflare link, feel free to share them.

greasemonkey script? I guess that one can just replace all the scripts
linking to .+/MathJax.js with local script references.
