fonts.google*.com is similar to the Facebook "Like" button. Google effort to inject themselves into websites that may have nothing to do with Google, read by users who may not even use Google. Users may be far from Google search engine page or any Google controlled subsidiary Blogger, etc., yet their Google-authored? browser is still connecting to Google. These Google font domains are among the many useless and annoying domains I block. I remember the days when another large company was pushing "Web fonts". They asked the user to "install" the fonts; there was no "font server" and incessant phoning home. Today that company forces 10GB+ downloads of their "updated" OS on users without unequivocal consent. The stories of systems crashing in Africa under the load and network admins puzzling over the effects of massive Windows Update traffic in Australia have been amusing. Keep up the great work guys. Those "web fonts" are really amazing!
