Let’s say 80% of websites load Google Fonts. Now Google knows 80% of your browsing history.

So the problem isn't Web fonts per se, it's using Web fonts from a CDN.

Given that Mozilla now has a proxy (VPN) service, that could be a nice tie-in indeed.

You don't want your VPN provider also unwrapping TLS.

So proxies intercepting your traffic are fine but VPN intercepting your traffic is not?

Of course, this should be super explicit and opt-in, but Mozilla is in a position where a lot of people would trust them (you can agree or disagree whether that trust is misplaced) and if the goal is privacy and/or saving bandwidth on poor connections, this could be very useful.

Google Fonts doesn't track the users, or associate the use with the user's account.

Says who? And why should i believe/trust that?

The answer at that Stack Overflow question is seriously incomplete (and even it doesn’t say there’s no cache). Browsers today will, for the most part, cache CDN responses, not need to revalidate them, and share that cache across sites (though I think first-party isolation changes that to a per-site cache).

Stop. Go and look at the stack overflow. Then view source and look at the CDN links stack overflow uses.

Is your comment intended to be rude? Maybe more importantly: is intended to have a point?
