Third party connection and no icon

This script fetches an image from gitlab.com on each page load. This icon, that is supposed to be an Hypthesis icon, does not display for me (instead the button is just a plain black disk) and when manually visiting the icon's url (found in the code), it takes me to gitlab.com and requests that I log in. I do not have a GitLab account, so that might be why I have this issue and not the author of this userscript. Now, that's a bug. But I am a bit concerned with privacy. I was unease when gitlab.com showed in uBlock Origin as a third party connection on every page on the web I visited, because it seemed like a malware and I was not sure what caused it. Does this not allow for GitLab, or possibly you since it is your GitLab account that the image is hosted on (I do not know what analytic capabilties GitLab provides) to track every site that the user visits? That is just a speculation however since I do not know much about web development and such. But I still do not want to automatically be making these requests to GitLab. Couldn't you just do something like this?: background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,[URI]); and where [URI] is the base64 URI of the image. There are tools to convert images to base64.

Thank you for fixing it! Updating my rating to "Good".
