> “…more privacy friendly Google alternatives are available and super easy to use […] No need to leak data to Google.” For the unaware, what about Google Fonts

• khobragade 3y ago
  When you embed Google Fonts on your website, the IPs of your visitors, the URLs of the pages they visited, and the User-Agent of their browser is sent to Google. Now they say[1] they don't use this information for profiling and targeted advertising, but they very much /can/. Given Google's business model, I personally don't have a reason to trust them with my visitor's data, no matter what they do with it. Self-hosting the required fonts is a 2-minute job anyway. 1: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq/privacy https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq/privacy
