Just remember, kids, that it's the only reason Google Fonts exist.

Yep, like everything, it's a trade off. In return you get a very robust platform and free fonts.

#4Interesting. It is a rare thing to see that Google shares information about the Browser and OS stats.

Is it against the TOS to download the font and host it on your own server? It's very simple to do even though they don't give instructions.

So you are claiming that reason of very existence of Google Fonts is to collect not-so-useful-and-easily-could-be-collected-by-other-services-of-Google data? Can we stop the whole Google bashing it is getting ridiculous.

Except the part where they allow you to download them and serve yourself (they're open source):

> You can download the fonts to use them for your mockups, in your documents or to host them on your own server.
Google Fonts exists because it's in Google's best interest if everything is online. Having freely available high-quality fonts is a [small] way to help move that along.
Update: No cookies are set by Google either, they're just doing analytics by the user agent sent. The actual font files have 1 year expires headers on them as well, so cookies would be of limited use.

And that they broke out iOS (even iPhone/iPad separately), but not Android (I suspect it's in the oddly high Linux category).

Only reason huh? nothing to do with prettifying the web and making developers happy, because that doesn't benefit Google in any way...
