@darius let me see if this has been reported…

Welp, here's my reason for always self-hosting custom fonts despite Google making it unreasonably difficult.

@darius A pattern I love is caching Fonts responses via a Worker and serving those instead: https://ruddra.com/cloudflare-cache-google-fonts/

@darius Aw, Google can't invasively track users without a cookie popup anymore. Poor them.

The browser extension:

"Local CDN"

Means, you will not have these types of issues, but also it improves browsing speed, while also improving privacy.

Take it a step further and import the settings from Local CDN and add them to uBlock Origin, and it gets even better.

The more you know...

@darius ok so believe it or not o got a really helpful answer almost immediately.

TLDR it’s not down, but the url being used to test should be more specific to get the right answer.

https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto //should always return a 200

https://fonts.googleapis.com //not necessarily going to return a 200

@darius im just an internet bimbo, no idea how this works but my brother is in tech and is a mentor to me. We talk a lot. And shit is definitely wierd lately
