       Another PSA that Google uses its fonts to track traffic to other people's websites. Google has no business knowing who visits other people's websites. If you want to use Google hosted 'free' fonts in your site, let your visitors know, or learn to host them locally on your server. For instance:https://webdesign.tutsplus.com/how-to-self-host-google-fonts--cms-34775tTo use Big Tech is to feed it. There are other ways.

       @aral @JulianOliver this is a great resource! :) (also relevant to me, personally, since i host my own websites). Thank you for linking it! If you have the broad strokes of what's missing in your mind or in your notes, Aral, I would be happy to volunteer some time and writing, to get them on paper and update this piece of writing. :) Let me know if you think it could work.

       @JulianOliver @theTJ And for all the EU folks: It might even be illegal for you to use it (for those same reasons). Think twice about using it, selfhosting is easy.
