      > The MathJax filter is enabled by default

      > The MathJax filter works without any additional configuration (using the MathJax Content Delivery Network)

      Problems with this:

      • Privacy issues; The CDN gets the referrer (there is no referer policy set at the 2 instances which know) + CDN gets time + amount of activities per IP address + ...
      • dependency on external services

       

      Most admins do NOT know about the default + the consequences it has

       

      Two possible solutions:

      • don't use a CDN by default
      • add a big scary warning about this default in the setup instructions
