this is probably astroturfing by google. Who provides both a site with free fonts and a browser without those restrictions. Plus we know they have use for those random resource requests since they also provide 8.8.8.8 and other similar cdn for js libraries. Also they killed 3+ attempts at disbling referrer from the chromium comunity.
or i am just paranoid.
- mbrubeck 13y agoGoogle Web Fonts uses CORS, so it works cross-origin in Firefox and IE.
- gcb0 13y agoexactly. did you even read my paranoid theory? :) all they want is that FF and IE be as permissive as Chrome so they can track everyone via cross-domain font requests. As they already do with DNS and free CDN for js libs.
- mbrubeck 13y agoBut my point is they can already do this. They don't need IE or Firefox to change anything because IE and Firefox already support cross-domain fonts.
