stop using google fonts
you're selling your users' activity very cheaply

What alternatives would you recommend for people?
self-hosting them 😅
protocolio, any kind that can be used for the purpose

whoa, thanks for the heads up on this. I will look into this for my websites.
💯 it's such a dumb honeypot
It, like, hurts to even think about. Plus the fact that I've done this so many times.
I had this pointed out to me a like 8 ish months ago. All my sites are google font free now.
Airgapped Google Fonts ftw!

Vendor your own assets
I should fix our snort so it doesn't use a Google font
Oh shit!
Very true! There is GDPR compliant alternative from Bunny, if self hosting is not an option 🐶🐾🫡
Very true.
Font relays?
Stop using any google services !
dnf remove google-fonts and see what happens 🤦♂️ most linux distros included those btw.
Using them offline doesn’t cause any harm. Most web devs use Google’s CDN to embed them in websites though, which reveals your info.
I think that’s what Pablo is referring to.
Shouldn’t be that hard to self host those. 🧐 Do better folks.
that's exactly what I mean
self-hosting these fonts is trivially simple but most devs don't realize the implication of linking them out to google's CDN
All Google fonts without google. Same API, just change URL
