#22Google fonts is just another way for Google to track users.
It is.
Why does anyone expect a private company to serve fonts for them without any interest to extract value.
If you want the fonts, read its license and find a way to acquire them and host it yourself for performance, security, privacy and peace of mind.
Someone here already linked the Google font downloader tool…

I believe the selector for 'Latin' meant 'Families that include basic Latin glyph'. Which is pretty much all families.

It's doing lazy loading. On my faster mobile devices it's not too jarring. On the slower ones... yeah it's a jumpy mess. Would imagine it's really bad on slower connections.
EDIT: To be clear I'm talking about the font page not the post announcing it.

#27(mobile) There is a cookie dialog at the bottom of the page that is covered by the bottom navigation. It can no longer be dismissed. A little more testing would not hurt.

#28Webpage has many useful filters, but is lacking the single most important one: what license the font is under.

I have a consistent 150 Mbps and it’s jumpy as hell, how fast does my connection have to be to scroll properly according to the Google standard?
